Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
For the dark dough, stir together the flour, cocoa powder and bicarbonate of soda in a bowl.
Put the milk and the lemon juice in a jug. Leave for 2-3 mins or until the mixture thickens, then stir in the black treacle.
Pour into the dry mixture and stir until it forms a soft dough. Add the raisins.
Transfer to a floured surface and knead briefly.
Repeat steps 2-5 using the light dough ingredients.
Shape the 2 dough into separate balls. For the snail’s shell, use your hands to roll the dark dough into a sausage about 45cm long. Wind it in a tight spiral and put it in the centre of a baking tray.
Roll the light dough into a thicker sausage, about 28cm long. Press against the bottom of the dark dough spiral in a ‘slug’ shape.
Bake for 30 mins, until you hear a hollow sound when the bottom of the bread is tapped. Allow to cool before serving.
