Description
No one can refuse a glass of wine in honour! And when the delicious red wine is still in the cake as an ingredient, it is enjoyed in a completely different form. It not only gives the cake a fine flavour, but also makes the dough wonderfully moist. And because it's so nice, the icing also makes use of a sip of the noble drop. Simply wonderful!
