Ingredients

1 ½ cups - flour
⅓ cup - cocoa powder
1 cup - sugar
¼ tsp - salt
1 tsp - baking soda
1 cup - red wine*
¼ cup - nondairy milk
½ cup - neutral oil
1 tsp - vanilla
2 tablespoons - apple cider vinegar
6 ounces - raspberries
¾ cup - red wine*
¾ cup - sugar

Instructions

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.
In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Serve the berries over top of the cake and ENJOY!
*a dry red wine works best such as Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon
