Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and prepare a bundt pan with cake goop or butter and cocoa powder.
Combine red wine, apple cider, honey, orange slices, cinnamon stick, cloves, and star anise in a saucepan and simmer for 30 minutes.
Strain the spiced wine, keeping 1 cup hot for the batter and reserving ½ cup for the glaze.
In a stand mixer, whisk flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, mixing for 30 seconds until combined.
Slowly stream 1 cup of the hot spiced wine into the mixer, creating a thin batter.
Pour the batter into the bundt pan and bake for 45 to 55 minutes until a skewer comes out with moist crumbs.
Trim the cake's dome and cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the glaze, melt milk chocolate chips and butter, then whisk in powdered sugar and reserved spiced wine until smooth.
Pour the glaze over the cake and let it set for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
Adjust the sweetness by choosing a sweeter or less sweet red wine as per your preference.
Store any leftover cake in an airtight container to keep it moist.
