THIS MAKES 2 LOAF CAKES - TO MAKE 1 JUST HALF THE QUANTITIES
Ingredients
  • 150g porridge made with 1 mug of chocolate chai latte (using 3 heaped tsp)
  • 150g self raising flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 mars bars
  • 150g unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp chocolate chai latte
  • 1 over ripe banana
  • 100g sultanas
  • *For the frosting*
  • 1 mars bar
  • 100g milk chocolate
  • 1-2 dsp chocolate spread
Instructions
  1. Pre heat the oven to 160oC / 180oC (fan)
  2. Grease and line 2 x 1lb loaf tins (or 1 x 2lb!)
  3. Boil your kettle and remove the lids from the Moma instant porridge cartons
  4. Make a mug of Drink Me Chai Chocolate Chai Latte as per the instructions on the tub (but I added 4 tsp of the drink instead of the suggested 3)
  5. Then using your now prepared mug of drink Me Chai, use this to make the two porridge portions as per the instructions on the porridge cartons. Leave to stand once made and stirred with the lids back on (again as per the instructions)
  6. Meanwhile, gently melt the butter and mars bars in a non stick pan, stirring occassionaly until melted and stir well to get rid of any mars bar lumps
  7. In the bowl of a free standing mixer (or in a bowl and use a wooden spoon or hand whisk) pour in the flour, chai latte powder beaten eggs, porridge, banana, raisins and mars bar mixture and mix well to make the cake batter - being careful not to over mix it
  8. Divide the mixture between the two loaf tins (or one large one) and smooth over the top
  9. Place in the oven and cook for about 25-30 minutes until cooked right through
  10. Leave to cool
  11. Meanwhile make your frosting by:
  12. melt the chocolate and mars bar together - take care not to burn the chocolate as the caramel from the Mars Bar can burn easily
  13. Then allow to cool for a few minutes, then add the chocolate spread and beat to make a smoothish frosting
  14. Once the loaf cakes are cooled completely spread the frosting over the top of each one
  15. then serve
  16. You can freeze the spare cake (which is what I did)
