Chocolate Cake with Plums and Red Wine

Directions

• Melt the butter and chocolate in a steamer. Whisk the eggs with the sugar and add this mixture with the melted chocolate and butter.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients – flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, cinnamon and salt. Finally, add red wine and mix everything lightly. Pour the mixture into a cake tin (26 cm) or a smaller square mold. Before baking, be sure to grease and flour or line the mold with greaseproof paper.
• Arrange the plums cut in half or quarters over the mixture. For a better aroma, you can sprinkle a little cinnamon on the plums before baking. Bake the cake for about 40 minutes at a temperature of 180 ° C. Try not to overcook it to keep it juicy. Use a toothpick to check that the cake is sufficiently baked.
• Coat the hot cake with homemade plum jam. Serve the cake chilled!
