My Oma’s never-fail recipe for this moist Chocolate & Red Wine Cake with Pears is a real family classic. The flavours of red wine, chocolate, pears and cinnamon marry beautifully and make this cake the perfect treat for cold fall and winter days.
Now taking turns, add each a tbsp of dry mix followed by a splash of wine to the butter mix until you've incorporated everything.
Take it out of the oven. Mix the 5 tbsp of wine and 5-6 tbsp of powdered sugar. Soak the still warm cake with this mixture using a brush and let the cake cool completely before unmolding it.
Make the icing by stirring as much red wine into 200 g of powdered sugar until you have a thick glaze.
