CABERNET CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH STRAWBERRIES



Cabernet Chocolate Cake With Strawberries image

This is a very romantic cake. Great for Valentine's or anniversary. Or for any wine and chocolate lover. I make it as a bundt cake and actually only use half of the glaze as I don't like too much getting in my way when it comes to chocolate cake. (I eat the rest of the glaze on the left over strawberries) Also, I have used skim milk(!)instead of cream in the glaze and it turned out fine. Great cupcakes too.

Delicious deep flavors in this cake. Don't make it often but actually had some wine left over and didn't care to drink it. So when in doubt, dump it in chocolate cake right!

CHOCOLATE-STRAWBERRY CELEBRATION CAKE



Chocolate-Strawberry Celebration Cake image

Although I have some great "from-scratch" recipes, this chocolate strawberry celebration cake uses a boxed mix with plenty of doctoring. It has become a popular groom's cake that gets more attention than the wedding cake. -Nora Fitzgerald, Sevierville, Tennessee
