Orange Marmalade and Wine Cake is a crowd-pleaser. Made with leftover red wine and orange marmalade, it brings out the fruity taste very well. The combination of wine and orange is enjoyable and people would ask for second helpings.
Try other wine cakes like whole wheat wine cake, amaranth flour wine cake or whiskey poke cake.
I have earlier baked with wine but that time I had specially bought wine to bake poach pears and bake a cake. Now I have wine also as a leftover.
My go-to drink has always been Bacardi with Coke but over the last couple of years, I have started enjoying wine a lot. And I would prefer to have that now more often than rum. V usually sticks to Old Monk or Beer. It was inevitable that the half bottle also I couldn’t finish the wine on my own.
The next day I thought a lot and decided to make another wine cake. I made it as mini bundt cakes, and also adapted the recipe quite a bit to suit what I had in stock. I also replaced part of the flour with amaranth flour.
A perfect recipe to give me 6 mini bundts and a slightly bigger bundt. I had ordered a mini bundt tray from the US when my cousin was traveling home, I haven’t had a chance to use it, but this seemed as good as any.
The cakes were moist, with perfect sweetness and the marmalade added a nice tang to it. I dusted them with a little sugar and served. My kids loved it, V loved it and neighbors loved it too. What else I could ask!!
