I think I Can Slow Down-A Little!

What a week and weekend!  I think I can finally slow down and get back to my continued project of the reorganization of the craft/computer room! 

For my sweetie's birthday this past weekend, I made his favorite wine cake and I forgot how yummy it is, here is the recipe:

Di "Vine" Wine Cake
Cake
1 box of devils food cake
1 small box (6 ounces) black cherry gelatin
4 eggs at room temperature
1 cup California Cabernet Sauvignon Wine
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 (12 oz) package of semi sweet chocolate chips

Wine Glaze Ingredients
2 tablespoons room temperature butter
1/2 cup Cabernet Sauvignon Wine
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees, grease bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray. 
In a large bowl, beat cake mix, gelatin, eggs, wine, and oil on low speed for 30 seconds.
Increase speed to medium and beat for one minute-scrapping the sides.  Add chocolate chips
making sure all indredients are well mixed.
Slowly pour cake into the bundt pan, tapping pan lightly to make sure all air bubbles are released
before baking. Bake on the middle rack for 40 minutes.
Carefully remove from oven, set aside for 10 minutes to cool.  Carefully use a plastic knife to loosen
cake from pan, invert onto wire rack.
While the cake cools, prepare a simple cabernet wine glaze.  Combine the butter, wine and powdered
sugar in a medium saucepan.  Bring all ingredients to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon
vanilla extract.  Set aside for drizzling on individual slices of cake.

Pretty simple to make and a great crowd pleaser.
