Red Wine Chocolate Cake is an incredibly moist chocolate cake. Its rich chocolate flavor is enhanced by the red wine, and the glaze on top is the perfect finish.

Notes
Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to check your cake at the lower end of the recommended baking time.
Place your cake on a cooling rack before pouring the glaze over top so that it doesn't puddle around the base of the cake.
