It is a good option if you're following a lacto ovo vegetarian diet. Head to the store and pick up baking cocoa, milk, butter, and a few other things to make it today.
Instructions
In a bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating until smooth after each addition.
Pour batter into a greased and floured 13-in. x 9-in. pan.
Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool on a wire rack. When cake is cool, dust with confectioners' sugar or frost with your favorite frosting.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Port, Moscato Dasti
Cream Sherry, Port, and Moscato d'Asti are my top picks for Chocolate Cake. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. You could try Famille Vincent Cremant de Bourgogne. Reviewers quite like it with a 4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 24 dollars per bottle.
Famille Vincent Cremant de Bourgogne
From the Chardonnay grapes this sparkler allies freshness, body, and smoothness. The Cremant Brut is dry and offers fine bubbles (1.5 Million/30 minutes - we counted them but you do not have to believe me for this!), hints of flowers at the nose, crisp and fruity on the palate. It is a great Classic for all festive occasions.
