Ingredients
Cake
- 250 g softened butter
- 180 g sugar
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
- a pinch of salt
- 4 eggs
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 packet baking powder
- 200 ml mulled wine (or red wine)

Sugar glaze
- 200 g confectioners' sugar
- 3 tablespoons mulled wine (or red wine)
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 180°C (convection: 160°C) and grease a 22 cm Bundt pan
Beat the softened butter with vanilla sugar, sugar, and salt until fluffy
Mix in the eggs
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder
Alternately mix the mulled wine and the flour mixture into the batter
Fold in the chocolate shavings
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top
Bake for about 45 minutes
Let the cake cool completely
Invert the Bundt cake onto a wire rack and turn it once so the narrow part is facing up
Whisk the confectioners' sugar with mulled wine to make a glaze and pour it over the cake
Let the glaze set for about 30 minutes
Tips
For a non-Christmas season alternative, substitute red wine for mulled wine to achieve the same moist result
