RED WINE CHOCOLATE CAKE
from smittenkitchen.com. she says: "This, as far as I'm concerned, is the real red velvet cake - chocolate, naturally reddened and intensely flavored. We are completely obsessed with it already. Now, the essentials: The wine does not, I repeat, does not, fully bake out. It will taste like there's wine in there though not in the way that it would leave you tipsy, nevertheless, I will not be using this cake for, say, my toddler's birthday party, if you get my drift... the final cake is only 3/4- to 1-inch tall, and bakes quickly.... Oh, and it's still a one-bowl cake."

Steps:
- Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 325°F Line the bottom of a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment, and either butter and lightly flour the parchment and exposed sides of the pan, or spray the interior with a nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, cream the butter until smooth. Add the sugars and beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and yolk and beat well, then the red wine and vanilla. Don't worry if the batter looks a little uneven.
- Sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt together, right over your wet ingredients. Mix until 3/4 combined, then fold the rest together with a rubber spatula. Spread batter in prepared pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. The top of the cake should be shiny and smooth, like a puddle of chocolate. Cool in pan on a rack for about 10 minutes, then flip out of pan and cool the rest of the way on a cooling rack. This cake keeps well at room temperature or in the fridge. It looks pretty dusted with powdered sugar.
- Make the topping: Whip mascarpone, cream, sugar and vanilla together until soft peaks form - don't overwhip. Dollop generously on each slice of cake. It can also be covered and refrigerated for up to 4 hours.
