Chocolate and Red Wine Cake

Cake with chocolate and red wine, a beautiful pairing between red wine and chocolate, together they enhance the rich and decisive flavor of this amazing cake. Wonderful chocolate, whether it’s a drink, a cake, a mousse, or a bar. Whether it’s hot chocolate, cold, or iced, no other ingredient is so versatile in the kitchen. If you think about it, chocolate is everywhere, not only in our desserts, but we also find it in savory dishes, and even in beauty creams or fabric decorations. But here we are talking about the kitchen, so we can get creative. Often, just a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa in the preparation of shortcrust pastry is enough to enrich it.

My name is Pina, and my passion is food and cooking in general. On the blog, I focus on regional dishes like those from my birthplace, Sicily. I also feature dishes from Lazio, the region that has hosted me for over 40 years, but in general, I cover all Italian regions. Traveling and exploring is my second passion, so I couldn't leave out dishes from around the "World" on my blog. My blog is divided into simple and essential sections like appetizers, first courses, main courses, side dishes, bread and leavened products, jams and preserves, wines and wineries, and of course, travels. Desserts are included, and finally, there is a dedicated corner for gluten-free options. Easy recipes, explained step by step and always updated.
