Instructions
To make the cake
- Step 1
Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9 inch cake pan with parchment paper. I like to use the parchment paper AND cooking spray to minimize sticking.
- Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda.
- Step 3
In a medium bowl, mix together the wet ingredients: red wine, milk, oil, vanilla, and vinegar. Once combined, add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until just combined.
- Step 4
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30 minutes until fully set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool.
To make the berries
- Step 5
In a small pot, mix together the wine and sugar over medium heat and continue to stir until the sugar is fully dissolved. Bring to a gentle simmer and let cook on low for 5 minutes until it begins to thicken.
- Step 6
Remove from the heat and stir in the berries. Place in the fridge to thicken even more for 20-30 minutes. This can also be done the night before.
- Step 7
Serve the berries over top of the cake and ENJOY!
Notes
- Step 8
*a dry red wine works best such as Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon
