Glühweinkuchen
(Glühwein Cake)
4 Eggs
1 1/4 cups Sugar
3/4 + 1/8 cups Vegetable Oil
3/4 + 1/8 cups Glühwein
2 1/2 cups + 3 tablespoons All Purpose Flour
3 teaspoons Baking Powder
1 tablespoon Cocoa Powder
1 tablespoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Ccardamom
3/4 cup Chocolate pieces (such as chocolate chips or chocolate shavings)
For the Glaze:
1 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
3 tablespoons Rum
A pinch of Cinnamon
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Combine eggs and sugar. Using a mixer, beat egg mixture until it has tripled in volume. With the mixer going, drizzle in oil, then the Glühwein.
Gently fold in the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, chocolate pieces, and cinnamon.
Prepare a cake pan by greasing it with butter or cooking spray. Pour the cake batter into the cake pan and distribute it evenly.
Bake cake for about 45-55 minutes. Test cake for doneness by sticking the center with a toothpick - if it comes out clean, the cake is done; if it
doesn't come out clean, bake the cake a few more minutes and retest.
Remove cake from oven when its done and allow it to cool completely.
To prepare the glaze, combine the powdered sugar, rum, and cinnamon. Drizzle over cake. Cut cake into squares before serving.
