[mona1949]

Ingredients

1 box french vanilla cake mix
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 envelopes whipped cream topping mix
1 1/4 cups pink champagne, flat
4 egg whites
1 tsp champagne flavoring
1 whole egg
small amount of pink food coloring

(If you have very strong champagne, use less flavoring. If unable to find champagne flavoring. use a strong flavored champagne.

Beat all ingredients together in a mixer for 3 minutes. Batter will be a blush color. Pour into greased, floured 8 inch pans; Bake at 350 degrees

Cream Puff Custard Filling

2 cups milk
3/4 cup sugar
3 tbsp flour
1 tbsp corn starch
1 tsp vanilla
3 egg yolks

Warm milk, add sugar which has been mixed with flour and corn starch, beat egg yolks and add to the milk and cook until it coats the spoon. Cool and beat occasionally to prevent crusting. Stir in vanilla.

Frosting

3/4 cup shortening and butter mixture until combined. Beat in 1 tbsp champagne. Beat in sifted powdered sugar and a few drops red food coloring. If necessary, beat in additional champagne to making frosting spreading consistency.

Fill cooled cake with Custard filling and frosting.

I made this cake about two years ago for my nieces friend and they loved it. I added extra champagne. You can never have enough champagne.

An easy twist to a pink champagne cake is

1 box white cake mix with pudding in it ( I use betty crocker)
1/3 cup oil
3 egg whites

(elimanating the water and instead of the water use)
1 cup pink champagne
1/4 cup grenadine

Mix all together and bake as directed

This is fast, easy and yummy. Really good

I can bake all day and not eat it! At the wedding this weekend everyone was going on and on about how yummy the cake was and asked why I wasn't eating it... I told them I bake so much that I really don't eat cake much at all. I am not a big cake fan. Give me a chocolate bar though and I am done for! I do like the frosting and fillings. But I am diabetic so I have to really watch what I eat!
