Prep time: 25 mins | Bake time: 35 mins + cooling | Yield: 3 mini loaves (6 slices each)

Ingredients:

2 squares (1 oz each) semisweet baking chocolate, chopped

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 cup packed brown sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

3 tbsp chai tea latte mix

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup sour cream

Frosting:

1 cup confectioners’ sugar

1 tbsp butter, softened

1 tbsp chai tea latte mix

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

4-5 tsp milk

Instructions:

  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 3/4x3x2″ loaf pans. Bake at 350°F 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.
