This bread is irresistible! A friend gets mad when I make it because I give her a loaf and she can't help but eat the whole thing! Lisa Christensen Poplar Grove, Illinois Ingredients:
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped |
1/2 cup water |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3 tablespoons chai tea latte mix |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup sour cream |
frosting: |
1 cup confectioners' sugar |
1 tablespoon butter, softened |
1 tablespoon chai tea latte mix |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
4 to 5 teaspoons milk |
Directions:
1. In a microwave, melt chocolate with the water; stir until smooth. Cool slightly. In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla, then chocolate mixture.
2. Combine the flour, latte mix, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream.
3. Transfer to three greased 5-3/4-in. x 3-in. x 2-in. loaf pans. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. For frosting, combine the confectioners' sugar, butter, latte mix, vanilla and enough milk to achieve desired consistency. Frost tops of loaves. Yield: 3 mini loaves (6 slices each).
