Instructions to make Christmas Mulled Wine Velvet Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas mark 3. Line the bottom of two 23cm cake tins with parchment and butter and lightly flour the parchment and sides of the pans.
- In a mixer on medium speed, cream the butter until smooth. Add the sugars and beat until fluffy. Add the eggs, beat well, then the mulled wine and vanilla. Sift the flour, cocoa, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together, over the mixture. Mix with the machine until almost combined, then fold the rest together with a spatula.
- Divide batter between the tins. Bake for 45 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean. The top of each cake should be shiny and smooth. Cool on a rack. If your cakes have domed a bit, level the tops using a long serrated knife.
- In a medium bowl, beat the mascarpone with the icing sugar, pinch of salt, vanilla extract, orange extract and spices at medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy. Place the first cake layer on a cake stand or plate, and spread with half of the filling. Repeat with the second layers. Chill in the fridge until you're ready to serve.
Drain the cherries but collect the mulled wine. Mulled wine is typically red wine (but can be white) that is infused with yummy, fall spices like cinnamon, cloves and star anise (this is key) and served warm. Typically, oranges are also simmered into the wine, to give it some sweetness and sometimes a sweetener is added. Two days before baking, in a large saucepot, heat port with strips of orange zest and the mulled wine spices tied in a muslin or cheesecloth bag. Bring to a boil and then remove from heat.
