Bittersweet chocolate, pure version, without any milk, and good quality red wine are perfect ingredients for Christmas bundt cake recipe. It is ready in 1 hour and takes only 20 minutes of your active time!

How to make red wine chocolate cake?

Start with preparing your bundt pan. Spray it with nonstick cooking spray and flour it. Once you separate the eggs, mix yolks with powdered sugar and butter. Melt your chocolate chips in microwave or preheated oven and add to egg mixture together with dry ingredients, vanilla extract, and wine. If you love raisins, you may also add two tablespoons into the batter.

In another bowl whisk egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently combine them into wine bundt batter to keep as much of air bubbles as possible. Pour it into your bundt cake dish and let the oven do the rest of work.

Also, please have in mind that bittersweet chocolate can be replaced with the same amount of semi-sweet chocolate. The two are actually very similar in taste and composition, so you shouldn’t notice any real difference in your red wine bundt recipe.

Let your cake cool completely. It takes 10 to 20 minutes on a wire rack.

So, to be back on track, let me follow:

Can you glaze a cake the next day?

Yes. You can make the glaze up to 5 days before you’re going to use it. Store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Bring the glaze back to room temperature and whisk before using, adding a few drops of additional liquid if needed.
