Have you ever tried mulled wine cake? It's a real highlight on cold days. The Christmassy flavour of mulled wine goes perfectly with chocolate, which is why these two ingredients are the star ingredients in this cake. The gingerbread spice further intensifies the cinnamon flavour and results in a vegan mulled wine cake that smells divine from the moment it leaves the oven.
