CHILLI CHOCOLATE BUNDT CAKE

175 g butter
200 g sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
150 ml sour cream
200 g all purpose flour
50 g cocoa powder
10 g  baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
(or more if you feel adventurous)

Chocolate glaze:

100 g chocolate
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon milk


Preheat the oven to 190˚C (375˚F). Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then add eggs, one by one, vanilla and sour cream.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cayene pepper and cocoa. Combine everything by adding the flour mix slowly, one tablespoon or so at the time. Give everything a final stir and pour into the bundt pan, which should be coated with a little butter and lightly dusted with flour. 
Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until cooked (check with a fork, toothpick or a wooden skewer). When done, remove from the oven and let it sit for 10 minutes, then flip the pan over a plate or a cooling rack and the bundt cake should just fall out if the tin is prepared correctly.
While the cake is cooling, prepare the chocolate glaze. Heat glaze ingredients over low heat, stirring frequently, until chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Drizzle over cake, let it cool and serve. 

ČOKOLADNI KUGLOF SA ČILIJEM


175 g maslaca
200 g šećera
2 velika jaja
1 kašičica ekstrakta vanile
150 ml kisele pavlake
200 g brašna
50 g kakaoa
10 g  praška za pecivo
1/2 kašičice sode bikarbone
3/4 kašičice čilija
(ili više, ako imate avanturističku crtu)

Čokoladna glazura:

100 g čokolade
1 kašika maslaca
1 kašika mleka

Zagrejati rernu na 190˚C. Penasto umutiti maslac i šećer, dodati jaja, jedno po jedno, vanilu i kiselu pavlaku.
U posebnoj posudi pomešati brašno, prašak za pecivo, sodu bikarbonu, čili prah i kakao i zatim sve zajedno tako što se malo po malo dodaju praškasti sastojci u smesu sa maslacem. Sipati u prethodno maslacem namašćen i lagano brašnom posut pleh za kuglof i peći oko 30 minuta (ili dok kolač ne bude pečen, proveriti viljuškom ili čačkalicom). Kada bude gotov, izvaditi kuglof iz rerne i ostaviti ga u posudi za pečenje, da se prohladi 10 minuta, pa tek onda izvrniti na tanjir ili rešetku. Ukoliko je modla prethodno dobro premazana, kuglof bi trebalo da ispadne bez teškoća.
Dok se hladi, pripremiti glazuru tako što se sastojci na tihoj vatri ili pari istope u glatku smešu. Preliti preko kuglofa, ostaviti da se ohladi i služiti.
