Equipment

3 quart saucepan
Silicone spatula (a wooden spoon works too!)
9" cake pan or 8x8 baking dish

Ingredients

2 sticks butter
12 oz bag chocolate chips chocolate chunks or chopped chocolate will work too
1 cup sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt Diamond Crystal
5 eggs
1 cup cocoa powder
½ cup red wine

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375° F and grease a 9" round cake pan, place a round piece of parchment on the bottom of the pan, and grease the parchment.
Melt butter and chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
Remove from heat and cool slightly.
Stir in sugar and salt.
Add the eggs till combined.
Stir in cocoa powder, then mix in the red wine till fully combined.
Pour the batter into greased cake pan and bake for about 25 minutes.
Cool the cake in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then carefully flip out onto a cooling rack.
Cool completely, slice, and enjoy!

Notes

An 8x8 square baking pan can be used instead of a round pan, and should require about the same bake time.

Be sure the cake has cooled in the pan for about 10 minutes before flipping it out. If the cake is too hot when you flip it, it will fall apart. If you cool it in the pan for too long, it may stick to the pan. Lining the bottom of the pan with parchment paper will help keep it from sticking.

This cake can be made in a cupcake tin if you prefer individual portions or cupcakes, or in a mini muffin tin if you want to make little bites. Bake times should be reduced for these smaller portions.
