Scrape down sides of bowl. Reduce speed to medium, add raspberry extract and jam. When thoroughly combined, add in the eggs and then slowly add the flour mixture.
Fill each loaf pan one-third full with the chocolate mixture. Add the next third with raspberry mixture and using a wooden spoon, swirl together gently but do not mix. Top with remaining chocolate mixture. The pans should be approximately three-quarters full.
Bake until a tester inserted into center of each cake comes out clean, about 60-70 minutes. Let cool in pans completely on wire rack. Mix together the confectioners sugar, milk and raspberry jam until smooth. Drizzle it over the loaves.
