Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven at 180 degrees Celcius. (356 F)
  • Cream the butter and both the sugars in a mixing bowl till pale in colour and fluffy in texture.
  • Next add in the egg and vanilla extract and whisk well.
  • Now add in the wine. (The mixture will look like it has curdled, but that's okay its due to the acidity in the wine.)
  • Next add in all your dry ingredients and incorporate them by gently folding into the wet ingredients.
  • Pour the batter into a pre lined baking tin and bake for 20 to 25 mins.
  • Allow to cool in the (switched off) oven (with its door slightly ajar) for 10 mins, before transferring onto a cooling wire rack.
  • Garnish with flakes of white chocolate and some fresh fruit, alternatively dust with some icing sugar.
  • Serve warm or cold. Enjoy!

Notes

Use an equal measure of white sugar incase you are unable to procure brown sugar.
