Red Wine Chocolate Cake Recipe - Wine Enthusiast Magazine Online

Directions

Heat oven to 375℉.

Trace bottom of 9-inch round pan onto parchment paper, and cut with scissors. Grease pan with butter, dust lightly with flour and line bottom with parchment circle. Set aside.

In medium mixing bowl, sift or whisk together sugar, flours, baking soda and baking powder. In large mixing bowl, whisk eggs, vanilla extract and red wine until combined. Add melted butter.

In thirds, fold flour mixture into wet ingredients with rubber spatula. Do not over-mix. Fold in cocoa powder.

Pour cake batter into prepared pan. Use offset spatula to spread batter evenly. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until toothpick or cake tester inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Remove from oven, and place on rack until completely cooled. Invert pan, and tap or bang lightly to remove cake. Frost or top cake as desired. Makes 1 cake.

For layer cake: Wrap cake in plastic wrap and place in freezer until firm, but not frozen solid, about 15–20 minutes. Remove from freezer and unwrap. With serrated knife, slice into two layers. Spread frosting or jam atop 1 layer. Cover with second cake layer. Frost cake as desired.
