Wine cake
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Red wine combined with chocolate works great! I use semi-dry, but you can also choose sweet varieties. The amount of sugar in the cake depends on the wine you choose and your taste preferences. If you like very sweet desserts, feel free to add up to 2 cups. The bake is ready. Serve at the table.
