This delightful cake combines the effervescence of sparkling wine with a soft pink hue, perfect for any celebration.
Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the cake mix package.
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
Prepare the cake mix according to the package instructions, substituting the water with pink sparkling wine.
Using sparkling wine adds a unique flavor and light texture to the cake.
Add a few drops of red food coloring to the batter to achieve a soft pink hue.
Add the coloring gradually to control the intensity of the color.
Pour the batter into greased and floured cake pans and bake as directed on the package.
Greasing and flouring the pans prevents sticking and ensures easy removal.
Allow the cakes to cool completely on a cooling rack before frosting.
Cooling completely prevents the frosting from melting.
For the frosting, beat the softened butter until creamy.
Creaming the butter creates a smooth base for the frosting.
Gradually add powdered sugar, milk, pink sparkling wine, and vanilla, beating until smooth and spreadable.
Adjust the consistency by adding more powdered sugar or milk as needed.
Frost the cooled cake layers, adding a few drops of red food coloring to the frosting for a pink tint.
Frosting in layers creates a professional look.
Serve the cake and enjoy! Refrigerate any leftovers for the next day.
Refrigerating enhances the flavors and keeps the cake fresh.
