Dessert. I would have to say that it’s my favorite “meal” of the day. Well, does wine count as a meal? If so, it would be very hard for me to pick between wine and dessert as a favorite! So, why pick when you can pair them! You all love my angel food cake desserts, so I decided to make one for the holidays. One of my family’s favorite holiday flavor combinations is chocolate and peppermint, so I made mini peppermint hot chocolate angel food cakes. I paired my mini Peppermint Chocolate Angel Food Cakes with CK Mondavi & Family Cabernet Sauvignon because it is rich and velvety, making it the perfect match for the light and chocolatey angel food cake.

I used hot cocoa mix because I think just about everyone has hot cocoa mix in their house this time of the year, and I wanted this dessert recipe to not only be delicious, but easy. I used angel food cake mix because it’s light, airy and lower in fat than other desserts. The crushed peppermint give the mini bundt cakes a festive touch as well as great flavor, but if you want extra peppermint flavor you could add a teaspoon of peppermint extract to the cake mix or into the glaze.

I also drizzled melted chocolate over the mini bundt cakes…because well…can you ever have too much chocolate?? I didn’t think so 😉
