DOUBLE CHOCOLATE RED WINE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
• Prepare a 10-cup bundt with either butter or cooking spray; set aside.
• In a large mixer, beat the chocolate cake mix, black cherry jello, eggs, 8 oz red wine and vegetable oil on low speed for 30 seconds.
• Increase the speed to medium and continue to beat for 1 minute. Stir in mini chocolate chips.
• Pour cake batter into prepared bundt pan and gently tap the pan on your counter to release any air bubbles before baking.

• Remove from oven and set on baking rack to cool for 10 minutes.
• Carefully, loosen the sides of the bundt pan and invert onto a wire cooling rack.

RED WINE CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH VANILLA BUTTERCREAM

Steps:

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.

• 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.
