Instructions
1
Sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set
aside.
2
Chop or grate the bittersweet chocolate into very small pieces.
3
Place the unsalted butter, firmly packed sugar, spices, freshly grated lemon,
and orange zest in a mixer and beat on medium-high speed until creamy (about 3
minutes).
4
Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat in the pure
vanilla extract.
5
Add the eggs one after the other, making sure each is incorporated fully into
the batter before adding the next.
6
Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
7
Mix again to make sure everything is evenly combined.
8
Turn the mixer speed down to low. Add half the sifted dry ingredients.
9
Add the wine and then the rest of the dry ingredients.
10
Mix in the chocolate.
11
Preheat the oven to 400F.
12
Grease an 8 x 12 pan and line with baking paper.
13
Spread the batter out evenly into the pan.
14
Bake for 25 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes
out clean.
15
Transfer the cake to a cooling rack set up over a parchment paper-lined baking
sheet. Let cool completely.
16
Whisk together the powdered sugar and red wine until it forms a smooth glaze.
17
Pour the glaze onto the cake and use a rubber spatula to even it out over the
top.
18
When the glaze has dried, cut the cake into small pieces. Arrange on a platter
and serve.
