Pink Champagne Celebration Cake

Pink Champagne Celebration Cake
from Booze Cakes 

Ingredients
Cake: 
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
6 egg whites
2 cups pink Champagne

Frosting:1 cup  unsalted butter
8 cups powdered sugar
2 tbs. pink Champagne
1/4 cup whole milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Red or pink food coloring 

Directions
To make the cake: 
Preheat oven to 350  Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or use 3 6-inch cake rounds. In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In a mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar 5 minutes, or until light and fluffy. Beat in egg whites one at a time, stopping a few times to scrape down the bowl. Add in the vanilla. In three alternating additions, mix in flour mixture and Champagne, beginning and ending with the flour. Pour batter into pans and bake 35 minutes, or until a toothpick when inserted in the center comes out clean. (Check at 25 mins for smaller cake pans) 

To make the frosting: 
In a mixing bowl, beat butter 1 minute. Gradually add the powdered sugar, Champagne, milk, vanilla, and food coloring (if desired) and beat until smooth and spreadable

Assemble:
For the naked cake apply a  very thick layer of frosting between each layer, otherwise your frosting will flatten and it’s not near as pretty! I used classic sprinkles on the top for a festive birthday look but the possibilities are clearly endless!
