Wow...
I know, it's been over two months since I've posted anything. Epic. Fail. Not quite sure where the rest of my summer went. I started having adventures (Seattle, camping, moving, etc.) instead of making tasty things.
But I promise, this time I'm here to stay.
I figure the least I can do (since I know you all missed these posts), is start back up with a frickin' awesome recipe. So without further ado, I present Deb of Smitten Kitchen's red wine cake..
Probably my favorite thing about this cake was that it gave me reason to go to the liquor store FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER (after two months of belonging to the 21+ club, sad, I know). It's also a super simple cake to make. And tastes absolutely divine. And my assistant was a super awesome mixer/ stirr-er of ingredients (read: I love Sam Kap, and my friend is still babysitting my mixer).
Ingredients:
The steps really just came down to
1) mixing the wet ingredients with the sugars (minus the wine)
(thanks Sam!)
Then mixing in the dry ingredients:
As the wine is added:
The recipe called for a round cake pan....which is probably the only kind of cake pan I don't have. I figured the 8 x 8 square one was close enough. The finished product:
Not the most appetizing picture I've ever posted, I know. But seriously, if you have a 3/4 cup of red wine in your possession, you need to make this asap.
We skipped Deb's ganache, but we did make a pretty awesome cool whip topping:
Ok, fine, so I actually just added milk to some powder in (cop-out). But it was still delicious!
I have lots of recipes on my to-make list. And it's fall (aka the season to bake pumpkin themed things until my roommate and I turn orange from eating them all). I hope to have one up by this time next week, but in the meantime- make this cake!
