To begin making the Red Wine Chocolate Cake Recipe, first preheat the oven to 180C.

Line the bottom of a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder, cinnamon and salt together. Keep aside

In a large mixing bowl, using the electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar together. Continue till light until fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add the egg and yolk and beat till well mixed.

Add the red wine and vanilla. Beat for another minute or so. Fold in half the flour mixture. When combined, fold the rest in.

Spoon the Red Wine Chocolate Cake batter in prepared pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the Red Wine Chocolate Cake to cool completely before slicing or serving.

Serve the Red Wine Chocolate Cake sprinkled with icing sugar, a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the holiday season.
