Directions: |
Directions:Use a box of white cake mix (NO pudding) and substitute champagne - 1/2 to 3/4 cup to replace all of the liquid called for in the cake mix. So if the box says 3/4 cup water replace with 3/4 cup champagne. I did use one that had 1 1/4 cups water and replaced with champagne, just depends on the cake mix brand you buy. The kind of champagne/sparkling wine (pink, white, sweet, dry) used will determine the flavor.
Tint with red food coloring to a soft pink, use a drop at a time, this stuff will stain, probably take about 3 drops.
Bake cake as instructed on box. Can use 9x13-inch pan, but for an elegant layer cake use two 9 round cake pans. Can also make in individual, smaller cake pans that would be perfect for a shower!
Creamy champagne frosting: Beat 1 cup softened butter for 30 seconds. Gradually add 4 cups powdered sugar.
Beat in 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 cup champagne, and 1 tablespoon vanilla.
Beat in 5-5 1/2 more cups powdered sugar till you can spread it or is consistency you want.
Add red coloring till pink color, again slowly add a drop at a time until color you want. Frost completely cooled cake. |
