Mini Hot Chocolate Red Wine Cake (Super Moist Cake)

Mini Hot Chocolate Red Wine Cake: super easy to make, moist, flavorful and a perfect mix of wine with hot-chocolate (storebought/homemade).

Hot Chocolate Red Wine Cake – Super Yummmmmmmm!!!!

What do you make for a date night in-between Festive season or what do you serve as individual festive dessert?

Just before we enter the Christmas party zone, I wanted to squeeze in a cozy date night……simple cozy comfort meal for two and a dessert to go for a Netflix binge.

And what can be better than Chocolate + Red Wine on a Date Night?

Of course, a dessert that involves both 😉

Mini Hot Chocolate Red Wine Cake Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

• All Purpose Flour
• Hot Chocolate Mix (store bought or homemade)
• Cocoa Powder – for that rich chocolate taste (optional)
• Baking Powder
• Baking Soda

Wet Ingredients:

• Red Wine
• Egg
• Plain Yogurt – or 2/3 cup thick buttermilk – make the cakes extra moist
• Olive Oil
• Sugar – or sweetener of your choice
• Vanilla Extract
• Pinch of Salt

Decoration:

• Cream – use any cream of choice
• Cherries – you can use any fruit or skip this step
• Dark chocolate Bar- for sprinkle on top

So for the Meal, I went with the delicious and Skinny Cauliflower Pasta Bake (Healthy 20 Mins Recipe)

(Picture below)

And for dessert, I did this Mini Hot Chocolate Red Wine Cake.

We both love red wine, so I thought of incorporating it into our cake and it’s like a match made in heaven.

It’s also a great way of using leftover red wine too, provided the wine is fresh and not opened for more than 12hrs.

I definitely want the wine flavor and all the flavor.

These cakes are also perfect for your individual Christmas dinner (for adults) or a surprise birthday party.

Whatever the occasion, they are simply Awesome!

To make them super moist, I’m using a mix of egg with yogurt. It adds so much lightness to the cake.

Also, I’m topping it with our favorite whipped cream and add cherries on top.

Add some sprinkle of dark chocolate and you literally have an amazing restaurant-style dessert made at home in no time.

Instructions

Pre-heat Oven - 375f or 190c

Sieve the Dry Ingredients:

1. In a small bowl, sieve together flour, hot chocolate mix, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and keep aside.

Whisk the Wet Ingredients:

1. Take a large bowl, add oil, egg, yogurt, vanilla extract, and whisk for 2 minutes to form a smooth batter.
2. Now add sugar, and red wine and whisk for another minute to mix everything evenly.

Mix Dry Ingredients with Wet Ingredients:

1. Using a spatula, add and mix the dry ingredients in batter slowly.
2. This prevents any lump from forming. (Please fold the dry ingredients slowly to incorporate air. This will result in a lighter and fluffy cake).
3. Pour the batter into 4 oiled mini bundt pans and bake for 25 minutes.
4. Turn off the oven.
5. (Poke a toothpick into the center of the cake and remove it instantly. If the toothpick comes out clean, it means the cake is cooked completely)

Serving the Cake:

1. Top the cake with whipped cream
2. Add a cherry on top
3. Sprinkle dark chocolate on top
