Steps:
- For cake:
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly butter and flour pan. Heat chocolate, sugar, and 1 cup butter in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (bowl should not touch water), stirring, until chocolate is almost completely melted, about 3 minutes; remove from heat and continue to stir until chocolate is completely melted. Let cool completely.
- Using an electric mixer on medium speed, add eggs to chocolate mixture 1 at a time, beating to blend after each addition. Beat until mixture has a mousse-like consistency. Reduce speed to low and add salt and 1/3 cup flour; mix until smooth. Scrape batter into prepared pan; smooth top.
- Bake cake until top is firm and edges are slightly darkened, 55-65 minutes (rely on visual cues; a tester inserted into cake's center will come out clean before cake is truly done). Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cake cool completely in pan before turning out.
- For glaze and assembly:
- Heat chocolate, butter, and salt in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (bowl should not touch water), stirring, until chocolate and butter are melted, about 5 minutes. Whisk in powdered sugar.
- Meanwhile, bring wine just to a boil in a small saucepan.
- Remove chocolate mixture from heat and whisk in wine; let cool until slightly thickened and a rubber spatula leaves a trail in mixture when stirring, 8-10 minutes.
- Set cake on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Pour glaze over cake and spread it across the top and over the edges with an offset spatula. Let cake stand at room temperature until glaze is set, 2-3 hours.
- DO AHEAD: Cake can be made and glazed 2 days ahead. Chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.
RED WINE REDUCTION DESSERT SAUCE
I got these recipe ingredients from Chef Bruce at the Red Rooster Cafe in New Braunfels, TX. I serve this sauce with fresh blackberries from my dad's garden. Layer in a wine glass, sweetened whipped cream, berries, sauce, then more whipped cream. Top with a berry and sprinkle with a little powdered sugar. So good! They also use this sauce on their Monte Cristo Sandwich.

NANNY'S SWEET WHITE SAUCE
Another old family recipe from my Canadian turned naturalized US citizen Grandmother. This is a dessert white sauce, served warm over your choice of cake. My Grandmother used to serve it over an apple cake or her walnut cake (Recipe #360999). Definitely fits in the comfort food category and makes for an elegant, but simple, dessert. It will enhance the flavor of your cake, not overpower it.

Tips:
- Choose the right chocolate: Use high-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%. This will ensure a rich, flavorful sauce.
- Use a double boiler: This will help prevent the chocolate from seizing or burning.
- Stir the sauce constantly: This will help prevent the chocolate from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.
- Add the wine gradually: This will help prevent the sauce from becoming too thin.
- Season the sauce to taste: Add a pinch of salt or a dash of cayenne pepper to enhance the flavor of the sauce.
- Serve the sauce warm: This will allow the flavors to meld together and create a smooth, creamy sauce.
Conclusion:
Chocolate wine sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used to enhance a variety of desserts and dishes. Whether you're drizzling it over ice cream, cake, or fruit, or using it as a glaze for grilled meats, this sauce is sure to impress. With its rich, decadent flavor and easy-to-make preparation, chocolate wine sauce is a must-have recipe for any home cook.
