Recipe
Step 1: Prepare
Preheat your oven to 335F and spray two cake pans with cooking spray. Also, ensure your ingredients are at room temperature before starting to make the batter.
Step 2: Make the Batter
Grab a bowl and add the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Mix well until just combined. In a separate bowl, add the milk and oil together and mix well. In a third bowl, add the egg whites, champagne, food coloring, and vanilla, and mix well. Add your butter to the first bowl (the dry ingredients) and mix well. Now add the third bowl to the first bowl and mix well. Lastly, add the egg white mixture to the bowl gradually; mixing as you go.
Step 3: Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into your prepared cake pans and bake for around 35-40 minutes. You can check it's baked by placing a toothpick into the center of your cake. If it comes out clean, your cake is ready. Leave to cool and move on to making the buttercream.
Step 4: Make the Buttercream
Add the egg whites and sugar to a bowl and beat for several minutes. Once completely combined, add in your butter gradually until that is also completely combined. Once combined, add the salt, vanilla extract, and molasses. Keep mixing your buttercream until it has a fluffy, light texture. This may take a while, but just keep mixing.
Step 5: Decorate Your Cake
Once your cake is cool, you can completely cover the cake in your buttercream/frosting and use whichever decorations you'd like to make it even more gorgeous. Serve, slice, and enjoy!
Champagne Icing Color Recipe
If you're just looking for champagne frosting, then look no further. This recipe is inspired by one from Sally's Baking Addiction. Let's take a closer look.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup of champagne
- 1 cup of unsalted butter
- 4 cups of confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
Recipe
Step 1: Reduce the Champagne
Grab a saucepan and pour in your champagne. Place on medium-high heat and bring to a boil. When it begins to boil, let it simmer until it's decreased around ⅔ in size. This should take about 8-10 minutes. Once reduced, remove from heat and leave to cool down. It needs to be at room temperature before you add it to your frosting.
Step 2: Make the Frosting
Grab a bowl and add your butter. Beat on high for several minutes until the butter is light and fluffy. Once you've achieved this texture, gradually add the confectioners' sugar. Only add more once the previous batch has been mixed. Once all the sugar has been added, add your vanilla extract, as well as 3 tablespoons of champagne. Sample and add more champagne, as well as salt. Mix well and enjoy.
Step 3: Decorate the Cake
Use your frosting to decorate your cake in any way you wish. I find that this frosting tastes best when used on top of the cake, as well as coating the sides. You can store this frosting in the refrigerator until ready to use, for up to 2 days.
