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?
The answer is simple: Mini Hot Chocolate Red Wine Cake – that’s ready in 30 minutes (including prepping + baking time)!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 😉
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.
Tried Our Recipe – AWESOME!!!
