For today's holiday I chose a Chocolate Cabernet cake with dark chocolate ganache. Very good, and it coordinates with Amy's Chocolate stout cake! (Sorry to hear about your cold, Amy.) Not sure where I got this recipe from but it is saved on our server from somewhere in blogland. This cake was much lighter than I expected. But it had LOTS of chocolate flavor and a little heat/complexity from the wine and spices added to the batter. Definitely going in the make again file, if you would like the recipe I would be happy to post it here.
Couldn't resist posting this pic, Kyle's expression cracks me up! I should also give credit to this blogger who did a month of Bundts leading up to Nations Bundt Cake Day, for my inspiration.
Ooo, the spiciness sounds intriguing. You're right, nice ganache. I'd be tempted by dog biscuits if they were covered with ganache. And yes, my brother is heeeelarious!
ReplyDeleteI think my family is as addicted to chocolate as it is to alcohol. Probably even more so! If it came to a choice, I know I would give up wine first. The cake looks and sounds as yummy as Amy's does.
ReplyDeleteI think you hit it on the nose mom; the Eberharts crave those carbs! This cake sounds delicious, wish I could have a bite of each yours and Amy's. I have only made one bundt cake and it was orange flavored. Turned out only okay. Chocolate sounds wonderful!
