Chai Cake for Bread Machines

This bread machine cake is very moist, but not exactly a coffee cake. This bread was an experiment that turned out to be pretty good for breakfast (or as a snack/dessert). I topped my pieces with strawberry cream cheese. But I’m sure you could put any number of things on top to help you satisfy your sweet tooth. Enjoy!

Step: 1

Prepare the chai tea using one packet or two tablespoons of dry mix stirred into 3/4 cup hot water. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes.

Step: 2

Combine the chai tea, Chardonnay, vanilla extract, egg yolk, frozen raspberries, and butter in the pan of a bread machine. Add the bread flour, rye flour, all-purpose flour, wheat bran, yeast, walnuts, caraway seed, sugar, and salt.

Step: 3

Select the “Sweet” setting with a “Light Crust” and press Start. When the bread has finished baking, allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

The quality of the flour could make a real deal to your bread. Different makers do vary. Great taste or Canadian flours, which are bet higher in gluten, may give you a best rise than standard bread flours – especially if you’re make wholemeal bread , which doesn’t always getting bigger as well as white bread.

To made this in a breadmaker , add all the menus to your breadmaker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

A bread first rising can be done in the fridge overnight . This slows down the time it takes to rise to double its size, giving it a deeper flavour. It’s also a great limit , as you can start it night before , then clear it off the next day.
