DOUBLE CHOCOLATE RED WINE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F degrees.

RED WINE CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH VANILLA BUTTERCREAM

Steps:

• For the buttercream: Place the butter in a large bowl and beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth. Add the confectioners' sugar in 3 batches, beating until each batch is incorporated. After adding the last batch, continue to beat until very smooth and lightened, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla and 1 tablespoon of the half-and-half and beat until incorporated. Add more half-and-half as needed to make the icing a smooth, spreadable consistency. Keep at room temperature until ready to use.
