CABERNET CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH STRAWBERRIES
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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Grease and lightly flour cake pan(s).
- Mix eggs and mayo with electric mixer until smooth.
- Add wine and beat until combined.
- Add cake mix, salt and vanilla and beat for 3 minutes.
- Pour into pan(s) and bake according to box directions, but check 5-10 minute early as this cake tends to bake "fast".
- When cake is almost cool make glaze as follows:.
- Melt chocolate chips in microwave or double boiler being careful not to burn. If microwaving, start with about 45 sec., stir and continue in 10 sec. increments., stirring after each.
- Whisk in butter, cream, salt and vanilla one at a time.
- Cool slightly, then drizzle over cake.
- Arrange strawberries whole or sliced, whatever looks pretty to you, over and around the cake and drizzle a bit more chocolate over them if you like. The glaze and berries are a good combination on their own! Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
