Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1 Box White Cake Mix
  • 1 1/4 cup Pink Champagne room temperature
  • 1/3 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 3 Large Egg Whites
  • Pink Food Coloring

For the Frosting:

  • 1/4 cup Pink Champagne room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter softened
  • 4 cups Confectioners Sugar
  • 1-2 Tablespoons Milk as needed
  • Pink Food Coloring

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray 2 8 or 9 inch round pans with a non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cake mix and the champagne.  Once combined, stir in the remaining ingredients for the cake.  Use 2-3 drops of the food coloring to make the batter a soft pink color.
  • Pour the batter evenly into the circle pans.
  • Bake for 23-28 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.  Allow the cake to cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then carefully move them to a cool rack to cool completely.

For the Frosting:

  • In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the butter, pink champagne, and confectioner’s sugar until well combined.
  • Gradually add in the milk until the frosting is the consistency that you prefer.  You may not need all the milk.
  • Then add 2-3 drops of the food coloring to the frosting and stir until the frosting is the color you prefer.
  • Cut the round portion off of the top of the cakes with a serrated knife to make the cakes level.
  • Put 1 of the cakes on a serving platter or cake stand.  Top the cake with the frosting.
  • Then stack the other cake on top of that cake.
  • Frost the top of the cake and the sides of the cake with the remaining buttercream frosting (reserve some of the buttercream to decorate the top of the cake).
  • Use the remaining frosting to pipe some swirls on top of the cake and then top with sprinkles if you prefer.
  • Then the cake is ready to serve and enjoy!
