    In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

    Add Flavor Enhancements

    Fold in the chopped dark chocolate and red wine until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

    Transfer to Pan

    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
