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.

  • 1/2 Tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Baking Soda

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.

  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
