Time 2h25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup red wine
1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
2/3 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon red wine

Steps:

For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup bundt pan well with nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt; set aside.
In a separate large bowl, combine the granulated sugar and butter. Using a handheld mixer, beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating to combine after each addition. Add the vanilla; beat 1 more minute. Add a third of the dry ingredients and mix on low to combine. Add half of the wine and mix on low to combine. Repeat. Finish with the last addition of dry ingredients and the chocolate chips and fold in with a rubber spatula.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Tap the pan on the counter to remove any air bubbles. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with just a few crumbs, about 45 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
For the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and wine until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake. Allow the glaze to set for 30 minutes before serving.

Tips:

Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly affect the flavor of the cake. Look for a dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
Let the cake cool completely before glazing it: This will help the glaze set properly.
Use a good quality red wine for the glaze: The flavor of the wine will come through in the glaze, so choose a wine that you enjoy drinking.
