Finely chop the chocolate. Mix butter, sugar, salt and vanilla sugar with the whisk of the hand mixer until creamy. Stir in the eggs one after the other. Mix flour, cocoa, cinnamon, cloves, aniseed, orange peel and baking powder and stir into the fatty egg mixture. Add 175 ml red wine and stir in. Fold in chocolate. Pour the dough into a greased, flour-spread ring cake mould (approx. 2 litres capacity). Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for 45-55 minutes (test with sticks!)
Remove the cake from the oven, place it on a cake rack and let it cool in the mould for about 15 minutes. Carefully turn out of the mould and let it cool completely
For the icing, mix icing sugar and 2-3 tbsp. red wine to a creamy icing. Pour onto the cake and let it run down. Decorate with chocolate rolls
