Bundt cake with mulled wine

Mulled wine gugelhupf

A Gugelhupf (bundt cake) is a typical dish baked in the Viennese tradition. This specialty is actually available in many different variations. Refining the dough with mulled wine makes the cake especially delightful on cold winter days. Sweeten the wait until Christmas with this Viennese treat!

Ingredients:

  • 250 g (1 1/8 cups) butter
  • 100 g (1/2 cup) confectioner's sugar
  • 5 egg yolks
  • 5 egg whites
  • 200 g (1 cup) baking chocolate (melted)
  • 125 ml (0,2 pt) mulled wine (cold)
  • 100 g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
  • 250 g (2 1/4 cups) cake flour
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 package vanilla sugar
  • 1/2 package baking powder
  • pinch of allspice
  • pinch of cinnamon (ground)
  • 1 tsp ginger (finely grated)
  • Butter (for the pan)
  • confectioner's sugar (for sprinkling)

Preparation:

Whisk the butter with the confectioner's sugar and egg yolks into a foam. After melting it in a water bath, stir in the chocolate along with the cold mulled wine. Season with allspice, cinnamon and ginger. Beat the egg whites and granulated sugar until stiff, then fold into the butter mixture. Finish by carefully stirring in the flour and baking powder. Coat a gugelhupf pan with butter and fill with the dough. In a pre-heated oven, bake for about 50 minutes at 180° C (350° F). After baking, flip onto a baking sheet, let cool and sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.
