A delicious red wine and dark chocolate cake, reminiscent of the grape harvest and the colors of autumn. "Cuore di Sedano" used Arifa Farina Bio , a blend of organic flours ideal for any type of recipe, both sweet and savory.
Ingredients
- 180 g of Arifa Organic Flour
-
2 tablespoons of bitter cocoa powder
-
120 g of sugar
-
150 ml of red wine
-
3 eggs
-
100 ml of seed oil
-
60 g dark chocolate
-
vanilla aroma
-
10 g of baking powder
For the icing
- 100 g dark chocolate
- 30 ml of red wine
- a knob of butter
Procedure for the base
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. In a stand mixer (or with an electric whisk), beat the eggs with the sugar for 5 minutes, until the mixture becomes white and frothy.
3. Add the vanilla flavouring and the oil in a drizzle, mix.
4. Gradually add the flour mixed with the cocoa, the chopped dark chocolate, a pinch of salt and the yeast, with a movement from top to bottom so as not to deflate the mixture, alternating with the red wine.
5. Butter a 18cm springform pan with high edges and flour, removing any excess, or line with baking paper.
6. Pour the mixture and bake in the oven (180°C) for approximately 45 minutes, or until the cake is perfectly cooked inside when tested with a toothpick.
7. Place on a rack and let cool. Once cool, remove the cap, level with a knife and turn upside down, so the surface is perfectly flat.
Procedure for the icing
8. For the glaze, pour the red wine into a saucepan, add the chopped dark chocolate, the knob of butter, without bringing to the boil, stir until it has completely melted, turn off and continue stirring. At the end you will obtain a shiny cream. Pour on the surface of the cake and level gently with a spatula.
For decoration
Place a bunch of grapes, scattered berries and vine leaves on the side or in the center.
