Step 1
1. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees. Line a round pie pan with parchment paper, grease it with butter, lightly dust with flour, or spray with non-stick cooking spray. In a large bowl, beat the butter with a mixer at medium speed. Add sugar and beat for about 3 minutes. Add the egg and yolk, and beat until combined. Then mix in the red wine and vanilla extract. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together over the egg mixture. Stir with a rubber spatula.
