The only way to describe this decadent cake is... OUTSTANDING!! Nothing else goes better with wine than dark chocolate! Dark chocolate is loaded with minerals and fibre and wine is loaded with antioxidants and resveratrol. Needless to say, both improve your mood!

1. Preheat oven at 350°F (180°C), Grease 9 inch or 10 inch bundt pan.
