Nero d'Avola, Palazzi Wine

-

Are you a wine lover?  Today we have tried Nero d'Avola, one of the most important red wine grape in Sicily, Italy. It is named after Avola, a small town in south east Sicily where several hundred years ago, "the black grape of Avola" appears to have been selected by growers.  It has a very strong fruity perfume and has a warm and full-bodied flavour.  Nero d'Avola grapes give floral ripe black cherry and plum fruit flavours with a hint of spice.  A perfectly balanced wine to complete a host of food, in our case a delicious carbonara :) You need to try it!

And today is the last day of the year. I'm still in the office and I think that is the first time that I'm working on 31 of December. But anyway I cannot complain.

Finally I managed to do it! Is quite a long time now that I'm fancying at doing the red velvet cake. But you know, when you're renting and you move every 2-3 years is difficult to have all the things in the kitchen but even with the simplest utensils, you still can make it.  Every recipe I've looked at, it mentioned the difficulty level high, so I was not very confident that I could make it. But never say never :) My inspiration comes from the recipe of Ernst Knam, the Italian Chocolate King. Original recipe here . Ingredients (3 layers cake): 150g butter, softened 375g granulated sugar 120g eggs (2 eggs) 5g salt 1 vanilla bean 30g red food colouring 50g unsweetened cocoa powder 300g plain yogurt 375g all purpose flower 10g baking powder 30g white vinegar For the frosting: 525g cream cheese, softened 150g butter, softened 300g powdered sugar 1 lemon zest  How to do it: Preheat oven at 175 degrees. Butter the cake round. Dust with flou...
