These Red Wine Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Glaze were delicious. I don’t think you can detect the red wine in the finished cake, but it results in a super amped up chocolatey flavor. And I loved the simple glaze topping. It looked gorgeous, and nothing complements chocolate cake better than more chocolate.
More recipes should come with a built in beverage. After all the recipe only calls for 1.25 cups of wine, leaving plenty left over for some tipsy baking.
I love the rainbow nonpareils — so festive!
I made these two years ago when we were testing – I think I used the rest of the bottle for a beef stew!
Very pretty! What kind of wine did you use? I found the wine flavor really pronounced. And I agree– it’s a great reason to finish off a nice bottle of wine. 😉
