Here is one of my favourite cake recipes (another one follows in a couple of days):
Redwine-Cake (looks a little boring but ... ohhhhh... sooo gooood!)
Ingredients:
175g dark chocolate
300g butter
300g sugar
6 eggs
3tsp cocoa
2 sachets of vanilla sugar
1-2 tsp cinnamon
400g flour
1 1/2 sachets of baking soda
1/4l redwine
- Preheat oven to 150°C
- Chop the chocolate
- Cream butter on low speed until light and fluffy
- Gradually beat in sugar until light and fluffy
- Separate the eggs and drizzle the yolks into the butter-sugar mix one by one
- Add cocoa, vanilla sugar and cinnamon and beat until the batter is smooth
- In another bowl sift together flour and baking soda
- Alternately add flour mixture and redwine to the batter, a little of each at a time, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
- In another bowl beat the egg whites until stiff
- Carefully fold in the egg whites and the chopped chocolate
- Butter a bundt cake pan and dust it with breadcrumbs
- Fill in the batter and bake until a cake tester inserted into center of each layer comes out clean, aproximately 1h 15min.
- Dust with confectioner's sugar before serving
- Enjoy!
That sounds interesting, red wine and chocolate? Not an association I would have made spontaneously :)
