Time 1h45m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened, plus more for the pan
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
2 cups light brown sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups dry red wine
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
3 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
About 2 tablespoons half-and-half or heavy cream

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch cake pan.
  • Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Combine the butter and brown sugar together in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the red wine, beginning and ending with the flour, mixing until just incorporated.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with an offset spatula. Bake until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Cool completely on a rack.
  • For the buttercream: Place the butter in a large bowl and beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth. Add the confectioners' sugar in 3 batches, beating until each batch is incorporated. After adding the last batch, continue to beat until very smooth and lightened, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla and 1 tablespoon of the half-and-half and beat until incorporated. Add more half-and-half as needed to make the icing a smooth, spreadable consistency. Keep at room temperature until ready to use.
  • Spoon the buttercream onto the cake and smooth with an offset spatula. Cut the cake into squares and serve.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake turned out really dense and gummy.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate cake, but this one was really good. The red wine flavor is subtle and the cake is not too sweet.

This cake is absolutely divine! The red wine and chocolate flavors are perfectly balanced, and the vanilla buttercream frosting is light and fluffy.

I followed the recipe exactly but my cake didn't turn out as moist as I would have liked. Maybe I overbaked it?

The instructions were easy to follow and the cake came out perfectly. The only thing I would change is to use a little less sugar in the frosting.
