The Chocolate and Red Wine Cake is a gluten-free Swedish dessert. What this creamy cake lacks in flour, it makes up for in rich flavor.
Created by Michelle Lopez of 'Hummingbird High,' this decadent cake pairs succulent dark chocolate with rich red wine. For this Swedish dessert, Lopez explains that chocolate with at least 70% cacao and a red wine with raspberry and cherry notes makes this cake the fullest it can be. She further suggests that Bridlewood Pinot Noir is the perfect choice for this recipe because it brings out every flavor in each ingredient. Without the use of flour, this cake is truly allowed to bring forth its most intense and desirable flavors.
Topped with whipped cream, the Chocolate and Red Wine Cake is the perfect treat after a meal.
