Steps
1. Preheat Oven
Rack
Sous Vide Mode: Off
Steam: 30%
Temp: 356°F
Heat: Rear
2. Grease and Line Pan
Lightly grease a 9- by 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick oil spray and line with parchment paper. I like to use small alligator clips to hold the sides of the paper to the pan so they don't curl. Set aside.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients
Combine the yoghurt, butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla in 1L (4-cup) liquid measuring cup and whisk until smooth.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder until evenly combined. Make a well in the centre and pour in the wet mix. Stir until almost smooth; don't over mix.
5. Fold in Chocolate and Raspberries
Tip the chocolate and raspberries into the bowl and gently fold until just combined.
6. Pour Into Pan and Bake
Rack
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Insert the probe into the center of the batter, transfer to the oven, and attach the probe. Bake until the probe reaches its target temperature, about 1 hour.

Remove the cake from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a rack to cool completely.
The cake will keep at room temperature for 2 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
