Red Wine Chocolate Cake Frosting Recipe
So I’m thinking to myself, “I wonder if anyone’s made a red wine cake frosting.” You have port wine at dessert, perhaps accompanied by some cookies. Why can’t you mix your wine with your cake?
Naturally, you would think that a red wine cake frosting would combine well with a cream cheese frosting or a ricotta cake – a new take on the wine and cheese plate, perhaps.
But this red wine chocolate cake frosting recipe surprised us and knocked our socks off. Twin Tables developed the recipe for Red Wine Rosemary Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with Red Wine Chocolate Frosting. The red wine and dark chocolate is a lovely combination, and made even more sophisticated by the addition of fresh herbs.
Here’s the fabulous frosting recipe. Cake recipe and full instructions after the jump.
Red Wine Chocolate Frosting Recipe By Twin Tables
2 3/4 cups confectioners’ sugar
6 tablespoons dark chocolate cocoa powder
6 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons red wine
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fresh sprigs of rosemary
To make the frosting, sift together the confectioners’ sugar and cocoa powder in a medium bowl; set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter until smooth, then gradually beat in sugar mixture alternately with the red wine. Blend in vanilla and beat until light and fluffy. Frost the cooled cupcakes and top with fresh sprigs of rosemary in a fun design.
