‘Tis the season for all the delicious food and drink for the Christmas season. Especially mulled wine. The rich flavour of warm red wine with even more warming cinnamon and mixed spice; a hit of citrus from fresh orange, the perfect remedy for chilly nights walking around Christmas markets. I’ve made something much more portable and less likely to be knocked over on to cream carpets when watching Christmas films. A recipe for Chocolate Mulled Wine Bundt. Soft chocolate sponge fragranced with mulled wine and a rich cinnamon chocolate glaze and because of the time of year, being super extra with some edible gold leaf.
I used my beautiful Nordic Ware Bundtlette Tray to create the beautiful swirls in the cake to form these adorable little bundt cakes. The tins are really intricate designs, as long as you grease all the corners and let them sit for 10 minutes before trying to turning them out, the cakes should be easy to remove. The mini ones take about 20 minutes to bake, but if you go for an individual bundt, then double the cooking time and check with a skewer.
To note, the alcohol in the mulled wine doesn’t completely bake-off in the oven, so not suitable for young children. Best to keep this for the adults only. The mulled wine you pick can be to your taste, the flavours of the spice and wine pairs lovely with the rich chocolate sponge.
