Chocolate Chai Mini Loaves recipe

Ingredients

• 2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
• 1-1/2 cups 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 Pure Vanilla Extract
• 4 to 5 teaspoons milk

Steps:

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).
