Red Wine Chocolate Cake #SundaySupper

Red Wine Chocolate Cake is a decadent chocolate bundt cake that is as delicious as it is easy to make.   The red wine in the batter gives this cake a sophisticated flair, making it a wonderful finale to your Holiday meal, or any special occasion.

This week Sunday Supper partnered with Gallo Family Vineyards to share Memorable Holiday Meals: Holiday Traditions and Recipes using wine in the recipe.  When it comes to memorable Holiday recipes, a cake always stands out as something special.  So when we received two bottles of wine from them – Moscato and Cabernet Sauvignon – this Red Wine Chocolate Cake came to mind immediately.  Their full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon has tastes of rich black fruit and spice, which I thought would complement the chocolate perfectly.

The result was nothing short of spectacular.  This Red Wine Chocolate Cake was a beautiful, fluffy chocolate cake with red wine flavor throughout.  The cake was just perfect as-is, so I served it with a simple dusting of powdered sugar, a dollop of whipped cream on the side and dressed up the plate with some fresh raspberries.  Simple, sophisticated, superb!  This Red Wine Chocolate Cake would definitely be a memorable addition to your menu this Holiday season!

Gallo Family Vineyards is celebrating families of all kinds and encourages you to create your own family crest to celebrate all of the different families in your life – your coworkers, best girlfriends, golfing buddies, book club, any club.  Visit the CrestCreator.com to build your own custom family crest.
