Directions
Heat oven to 350 Fahrenheit.
Grease 9x5x3-inch loaf pan.
In large mixer bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs and vanilla; beat well.
Stir together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, cloves and salt; add alternately with milk to butter mixture, beating until well blended.
Gently fold in apples and small chocolate chips.
Spoon batter into prepared pan.
Sprinkle streusel topping over top.
Bake 1 hour and 10 to 15 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan to wire rack.
Turn right side up.
Drizzle semi-sweet chocolate glaze over top, if desired.
Allow glaze to set before cutting cake.
Streusel topping:
In small bowl, stir together ⅓ cup all-purpose flour and 3 tablespoons sugar; cut in 2 tablespoons butter or margarine to form fine crumbs.
Semi-sweet chocolate glaze:
In small microwave-safe bowl, place 3 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate and ½ teaspoon shortening.
Microwave at HIGH (100%) 30 to 45 seconds or until chips are melted when stirred.
