Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup Cabernet Sauvignon wine
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 0.25 cups powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the eggs, milk, Cabernet Sauvignon, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, mixing until a thick batter forms.
Slowly stir in the boiling water to the batter, mixing until fully combined. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake has cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for a decorative finish.
Slice and serve as a decadent dessert, optionally paired with a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon to enhance the wine flavors in the cake.
