Ingredients

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups your favorite red wine

Preparation Time:

Approximately 15 minutes for preparation, 1 hour for baking.

Method

- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch bundt cake pan to prevent sticking.

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until they are well combined and aerated.

- Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to blend the ingredients until you have a smooth batter.

- Gradually pour in the red wine while mixing the batter. The wine will add a luxurious richness to the cake. Mix until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and the batter is velvety.

- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure an even surface. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then, gently transfer the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely. Allow it to cool for another 30 minutes before slicing.
