Instructions
Chocolate Cake:
-
Grease a 9 x 13-inch cake pan.
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (176 degrees C).
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
-
In a medium bowl, combine the wine, milk, oil, vanilla extract and eggs.
-
Pour the wine mixture into the flour mixture, then mix until smooth. The batter will be thin.
-
Pour into the prepared pan, then bake for 34 to 36 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs.
-
Remove the cake from the oven, then allow to cool completely.
Raspberry Frosting:
-
Add the raspberries to a food processor, then puree.
-
Strain the puree through a mesh sieve to remove the seeds, and then set the puree aside. This produces 5 tablespoons (75 milliliters) of puree after straining it.
-
Beat the butter and shortening until smooth.
-
Add 3 cups (345 grams) of powdered sugar, then mix until smooth.
-
Add raspberry puree, then mix until smooth.
-
Add the remaining 3 cups (345 grams) of powdered sugar, then mix until smooth.
-
With the cake horizontal, pipe one vertical row at a time. For the second row, the dollops should be off set to fill in the gaps.
-
Once the whole cake is covered, top with some sprinkles and chocolate shavings.
-
Serve, and enjoy!
