Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease a cake pan with butter or oil.

Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in vanilla extract and citrus zest.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

In a saucepan, combine red wine, orange juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg; simmer until reduced by half.

Poke holes in the cooled cake and drizzle the wine mixture over it.

Allow the cake to absorb the liquid for a few hours or overnight before serving.
