Italian red wine<\/a> and chocolate.<\/p>\n

Is there any more beautiful combination<\/strong> of words in the English language?<\/p>\n

If you want to enjoy a luxurious night in after a tough day at work, these are the go-to food and drink for the occasion. If you want to give your guests a delightful dessert after a tasty mea<\/strong>l, wine and chocolate fit the bill.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s probably no situation in the world that you can\u2019t make better by adding a little red wine and chocolate into the mix.<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s all of that variety! You don\u2019t need us to tell you that there are literally hundreds of red wines<\/strong> for you to try from producers all over Italy. But when you combine that with the many makes and types of chocolate you really do have the potential for some interesting combinations.<\/a><\/p>\n

And of course, the leading producers of both tend to be artists as much as they are food and drink manufacturers. A lot of work goes into making great red wine<\/a> and great chocolate. Every producer has their own recipe and processes that they keep hidden from everybody else.<\/p>\n

What we\u2019re saying is that red wine and chocolate go together extremely well<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Now, what if you add cake into the mix?<\/p>\n

We can hear some of you salivating at the thought from here. That\u2019s why the Xtrawine<\/a> team have come up with a special treat for you this week.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re going to share a stunning recipe<\/strong> for a red wine and chocolate cake that you absolutely have to try.<\/p>\n

The Recipe<\/h2>\n

All credit for this recipe goes to the team at Pretty Simple Sweet<\/a>, who\u2019ve managed to not only create a tasty cake, but also make the steps for preparing it as simple as they could possibly be<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Before we get started, we will say that this is a cake that\u2019s best prepared the evening before a meal. While you can certainly eat it almost immediately<\/strong> after baking it, there\u2019s a special quality that seems to get unlocked if you leave it for a day or two before eating.<\/p>\n

Of course, the choice is up to you. That\u2019s just our opinion on the cake. Now, let\u2019s jump straight into the ingredients that you need to make it.<\/p>\n

The Ingredients<\/em><\/h2>\n

There\u2019s a pretty heady list of ingredients required for making this cake. It\u2019s best to measure all of these<\/strong> out before you starting the actual baking process. Doing so means that you always have whatever you need to hand and that you don\u2019t have to waste time trying to measure<\/strong> out ingredients during the preparation.<\/p>\n
