Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups pink champagne or sparkling rosé, divided
6 egg whites
2 drops red food coloring
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 (3.4-ounce) box instant vanilla pudding mix
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons milk
1 cup salted butter, room temperature
4 cups confectioner's sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, cream the butter with sugar until fluffy. Add the egg whites and beat until foamy. Add the flour mixture and 1 cup champagne into the batter alternately, about ¼ of each at a time, and mix until smooth. Add 1 to 2 drops of red food coloring and mix until desired color is reached.
  • Pour the batter into three greased 8-inch cake pans or two 9-inch pans. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, until cakes spring back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out with only cake crumbs. Let stand 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool. Cool completely before assembling.
  • While the cake is cooling, make the Bavarian-style cream by adding cold whipping cream and pudding mix to a mixing bowl. Beat until the mixture becomes stiff. Slowly add in the vanilla extract, followed by the milk, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency. Refrigerate filling until ready to use.
  • For the champagne buttercream frosting, begin by beating the butter on high speed until is creamy. Add the confectioner's sugar 1 cup at a time, and beat on low until combined. Add 1/4 cup champagne to the frosting, and continue to beat until frosting is creamy.
  • To assemble the cake, place a layer of cake on a plate. Pipe a ring of frosting just on the inside of the cake layer to create a dam that prevents the filling from coming out. Add Bavarian-style cream to the center of the layer, and spread evenly. Place the next layer on top, and repeat. When you get to the top layer, spread a light layer of frosting on the top and sides of the cake to create a crumb coat. Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes.
  • Once the frosting is set, add a second layer of frosting to the cake, and smooth the top and sides of cake. Decorate as desired, and serve.

Time 3h15m

Yield 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

Nonstick cooking spray, for the cake pans
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 1/2 cups cake flour, sifted
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon table salt
2 cups granulated sugar
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup Champagne, flat
1/3 cup milk
5 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon nonfat powdered milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 to 8 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
5 large egg whites
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
3 sticks (1 1/2 cups) unsalted butter, cut into cubes, at room temperature
1/2 cup pureed fresh strawberries
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
Splash lemon juice
2 cups fresh strawberries, washed and dried, diced

Steps:

  • For the pink champagne cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat three 8-inch cake pans with cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Set aside.
  • Combine the granulated sugar and butter in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. With the mixer on low, add one-third of the flour mixture to the creamed butter mixture. Mix until the flour is just blended. Combine the Champagne and milk. Beat in half of the Champagne mixture. Alternate adding the flour mixture and the Champagne mixture, ending with flour and incorporating fully. Set aside.
  • Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer just until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and beat until stiff peaks form. Gently fold one-quarter of the egg whites into the batter. Then fold in the remaining egg whites.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared cake pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool the cakes in the pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove from the pans and cool completely.
  • For the stabilized whipped cream: Pour the heavy cream into a medium bowl. Add the powdered milk, vanilla and 6 tablespoons of the confectioners' sugar. With an electric mixer, beat the cream until it reaches stiff peaks, adding additional confectioners' sugar if needed for desired consistency. (Makes 2 cups.)
  • For the strawberry Swiss meringue buttercream: Place a glass bowl over a saucepan filled with approximately 1 inch of water; bring to a simmer. Add the egg whites and granulated sugar to the bowl. Cook, whisking constantly, until the egg whites are hot, the sugar is dissolved and the temperature of the mixture has reached about 140 degrees F. (You can test this by rubbing a small amount between your fingers to make sure it's not gritty.)
  • Pour the hot egg mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat with the whisk attachment until the bottom of the bowl is no longer warm and the meringue is thick and glossy, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Slowly add the butter cubes, one at a time, until incorporated. The mixture may curdle; keep beating and it will come back together. Continue beating until the mixture is silky and smooth. If it becomes too thin, refrigerate for around 15 minutes and then beat until it comes together.
  • Add the pureed strawberries, vanilla extract, salt and a splash of lemon juice. Mix until smooth. (Makes 5 cups.)
  • To assemble the cake: Fold the diced strawberries into the stabilized whipped cream, then spread half of the strawberry whipped cream on the top of one cake layer. Place a second cake layer on top of the filling. Repeat with the remaining half of the whipped cream. Place the third cake layer on top of the second. Frost the entire cake, top and sides, with the strawberry Swiss meringue buttercream.

PINK CHAMPAGNE CAKE



Pink Champagne Cake image

This is a very easy to make cake that tastes elegant! I got this out of a magazine years ago and every year i have to hunt for it so now am posting on Zaar for safe keeping. UPDATE: There used to be a white cake mix that had no oil added to it but it has since been discontinued. For the cake mix use the specified amount of oil on the cake mix box and amount of eggs. this is just to replace the water.

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 cake, 16-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

18 1/4 ounces white cake mix, no pudding, and must be white to taste champagne
1/2-3/4 cup champagne, chilled (pink, white, sweet, dry)
1 cup butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup champagne
1 tablespoon vanilla
5 -5 1/2 cups additional powdered sugar

Steps:

  • 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. I usually just buy the cheap pink sparkling stuff in the grocery store, it's sweet and yummy in this!
  • 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. I usually make in 9x13-inch pan, but for an elegant layer cake use two 9 round cake pans, a heart pan would be perfect for Valentine's Day!
  • 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 TB 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 till color you want. Frost completely cooled cake.
  • This is excellent served the next day after being refrigerated all night so the flavors can blend!
