Ingredients

Red Wine - 3/4 cup
use any that you like, I used port wine
Dark brown sugar - firmly packed - 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon
White granulated sugar - 1/4 cup
Egg - 1 large + Egg yolk - 1 large
Butter - at room temperature - 6 tablespoons
85 grams
Vanilla Essence or Extract - 1 teaspoon
All purpose flour - 1 cup + 1 tablespoon
Cocoa powder - 1/2 cup
Baking Powder - 1/2 teaspoon
Baking Soda - 1/8 teaspoon
Cinnamon powder - 1/4 teaspoon
A pinch of salt
Grated white chocolate to garnish - 1 tablespoon or powdered sugar for dusting
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.
