Whiskey Thyme Chocolate Bundt With Red Wine Caramel Glaze #BundtaMonth

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Inebriated with whiskey that seeps deeper and deeper into the chocolate crevices as each day passes, and dripping in a wine spiked caramel coating, this chocolate Bundt cake is moist and potent!

 

The sharp flavor from the dark chocolate and whiskey is a pleasant contrast with the sweet caramel. Bogle wine is tannic and full of dark fruit flavor and I love the added layer of taste it lends to the caramel, perfect for Caramel July-#BundtaMonth!

 

I soaked fresh sprigs of thyme in whiskey overnight for a unique savory flair you wouldn't expect from a chocolate dessert.

I've admired and salivated over them online, yearned for and drooled over them on cooking shows, and been mesmerized but never indulged in one from a candy counter. But until I found the wonderful opportunity to participate in this Dessert Challenge sponsored by Sheryl over at www.ladybehindthecurtain.com I had yet to mold and manipulate a decadent dreamy truffle between my own two palms.
