Red Wine Chocolate Bundt Cake Recipes

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE RED WINE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
• Prepare a 10-cup bundt with either butter or cooking spray; set aside.
• In a large mixer, beat the chocolate cake mix, black cherry jello, eggs, 8 oz red wine and vegetable oil on low speed for 30 seconds.
• Increase the speed to medium and continue to beat for 1 minute. Stir in mini chocolate chips.
• Pour cake batter into prepared bundt pan and gently tap the pan on your counter to release any air bubbles before baking.
• Bake on the middle rack of your oven for 35-40 minutes.
• Remove from oven and set on baking rack to cool for 10 minutes.
• Carefully, loosen the sides of the bundt pan and invert onto a wire cooling rack.
• While the cake cools, prepare the red wine glaze: combine the butter, remaining 4 oz red wine and powdered sugar in a medium sized pan. Bring all ingredients to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
• Poke lots of little holes in the slightly warm bundt cake with a toothpick and pour the sauce over the cake taking care that the cake soaks up as much sauce as possible.
• Cool completely and serve.

CHOCOLATE WINE CAKE

Steps:

• Prepare the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 10-cup Fleur De Lis Bundt Pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
• Melt chocolate in a small bowl placed over a small saucepan of simmering water. Let cool 5 minutes. In a small bowl, combine wine and milk; set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and the granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs; beat for 2 minutes. Add the cooled chocolate mixture and beat until incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
• In a large bowl, whisk flour, gelatin, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to combine. Add to mixer bowl, along with the wine mixture, and beat on low speed until combined, about 1 minute. Increase the speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes more, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Spoon batter into prepared pan.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool 15 minutes. Using a plastic knife, carefully loosen cake from the pan; invert onto a wire cooling rack. Let cool completely.
• Prepare the glaze: Combine the butter, wine, and confectioners' sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, over medium-high heat. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Set aside until ready to serve.
• Dust cake lightly with confectioners' sugar. Slice cake and drizzle with glaze.

RED WINE CHOCOLATE BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Generously grease a 1.6l bundt pan. Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, a pinch of salt and bicarbonate of soda onto a sheet of baking paper, set aside.
• Using an electric mixer beat the butter and sugar for 3-4 minutes until thick and pale. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Gently fold in the melted chocolate until combined.
• Beating the batter gently, slowly add the flour mixture until combined, then add vanilla, milk and red wine, and beat to combine.
• Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, levelling the top back with a spoon. Bake for 45-50 minutes until a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the cake.
• Once baked allow the cake to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before turning on to a wire rack to cool completely. Meanwhile, to make the sauce place the chocolate and butter in a bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water (don't let the bowl touch the water) for 3-4 minutes until the chocolate melts, stir occasionally to help the chocolate melt evenly. Remove the bowl from the pan and allow to cool for 5 minutes before drizzling over the cake.
• To make the raspberries coulis, place all ingredients in a blender and whizz, pass through a sieve to get rid of the seeds. Alternatively mix a handful of raspberries with a drizzle of maple syrup.
• Whip the cream until just thickened. To serve, dust the cake with extra cocoa, then drizzle over the ganache and serve with raspberry coulis and whipped cream.
