Chocolate, red wine and strawberries cake


   Today we couldn't record the recipe, but we can't stop sharing it with you. Isn't it gorgeous? There won't be too many strawberries this year anymore, so we decided to use them to make these two delicious cakes. The recipe we are sharing with you today is a brownie and red wine based cake, filled with buttercream and fresh strawberries.
   

     To make the chocolate and red wine brownie you will need:
  • 200 g of dark chocolate
  • 200 g of butter
  • 150 g of sugar
  • 100 g of flour
  • 100 ml of red wine
  • 4 eggs
     Start melting the chocolate with the butter and add the read wine and the sugar. Once everything is properly dissolved and not too hot add the eggs and mix everything well. Pour it in 2 baking moulds coated with flour and bake at 180 °C for 20 minutes. Let it cool down before adding the filling.

     To make the strawberries buttercream:

  • 200 g of butter
  • 200 g of icing sugar
  • 250 g of smashed fresh strawberries
     Whisk the butter with the sugar until it is white. Smash the straberries, strain them and add them to the mixture. Pit it in the pipping bag. 

     To make the glazed chocolate:


  • 150 g of cream
  • 80 g of water
  • 90 g of sugar
  • 40 g of cocoa powder
  •  4 gelatine sheets
     Boil the cream, the sugar and the water together for 2 minutes. Add the cocoa powder and cook for another 5 minutes. Add the (previously soaked) gelatine sheets once it has cooled down. Strain and reserve. Use the shine when it reaches 40 °C.

     Finally bring everything together. Fill the cake with the buttercream, add the glased chocolate and decorate with the fresh strawberries. 

     We hope you like it!
