Chai-spiced Bread image

This is another recipe that I found in a Betty Crocker cookbooklet. The recipe makes a light loaf of bread with a delicious cinnamon glaze. It can be served as a snack or dessert with some fresh fruit, a wedge of cheese and a glass of iced tea (or if you prefer, a cup of hot tea). Note: water can be substituted for the chai tea.

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1/2 cup chai tea
1/3 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
3 -5 teaspoons milk
1/8-1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Spray the bottom of a 9" loaf pan with cooking spray (I use Pam).
  • Combine the sugar and butter in a large bowl.
  • With a mixer, beat on medium speed until fluffy.
  • Add in eggs, tea, milk and vanilla.
  • Reduce speed on the mixer to low and mix the ingredients well (the mixture will appear to be curdled).
  • Add in the remaining bread ingredients.
  • Mix just until moistened and spread in the loaf pan.
  • Bake 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool 10 minutes on a wire rack before removing from the pan.
  • Cool 30 minutes before glazing.
  • To prepare the glaze, combine the powdered sugar, vanilla and 3 t milk in a small bowl.
  • Add additional milk in small amounts until the glaze is spreadable.
  • Spread the glaze on the bread and sprinkle with cinnamon.
  • Cool for 2 hours before slicing the bread.
  • This may be stored at room temperature tightly wrapped for 4 days.
  • This may be refrigerated for up to 10 days.
