How to Make Chocolate Red Wine Cake
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 20cm (8-inch) springform cake tin.
- Cream together 175g (1 1/2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 175g (1 1/2 cups) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- In a separate bowl, sift together 100g (¾ cup) unsweetened cocoa powder, 175g (1 ½ cups) all-purpose flour, and 1 ½ tsp baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in 100ml (⅔ cup) dry red wine (like Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon). Gently fold in 150g (1 ½ cups) dark chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Check at 60 minutes.
- Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before running a knife around the edges to release it. Then, carefully remove it from the tin and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Dust generously with cocoa powder before serving.
