Last week I found 2 new favorite blogs, This Gal Cooks and Frugal Foodie Mama. While exploring their blogs I signed up for a Spiked Recipe Challenge. In this months challenge you have to use Champagne in your entry.
I decided I was going to do a desert. Strawberries and Champagne just seem to go together. After that thought, I decided to make a cake. I started with the idea of making my cake like the sunsational cake I have made in the past. I knew I wanted a white cake mix and strawberry jello. When shopping for my champagne I picked a blush champagne, that just seemed more like it would go with strawberries. I always like to add pudding to my cakes as it seems to just make them a little fluffier. Since it was called a Strawberry Champagne Cake I felt it should actually have some strawberry puree in the cake instead of just the strawberry jello flavoring.
The icing I put on the cake was adapted from Cally's graduation cake. The Dream Whip icing is scrumptious. What could be better than a butter cream icing with the addition of Champagne...yummy! I found the idea to make a strawberry flower on my cake from another of my favorite blogs , Lick the Bowl Good.......Thanks Monica !
Stay tuned and I will let you know how I do with my entry in the Spiked Recipe Challenge.
Strawberry Champagne Cake
1 box white cake mix
1 small box strawberry jello
3/4 C champagne
1/2 C oil
1/2 C crushed strawberries
1 small box white chocolate instant pudding
4 eggs
Mix together and beat for 3 minutes
Pour into 2 greased and floured 9 inch round pans.
Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.
Cool cake completely on cooling racks before icing.
Champagne Dream Whip Icing
1 oz Dream Whip
1/2 C cold champagne
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 t almond extract
1 T butter, softened
3 T heavy whipping cream
2 C shortening
2 lbs powdered sugar
Strawberries for decorating the top
Combine dream whip, champagne, vanilla extract and almond extract with a mixer on low until combined, increase speed to high and whip until mixture begins to look fluffy (about 4 minutes)
Add shortening, whipping cream and butter. Combine with mixer on low speed, scrapping sides of bowl as needed. Once combined, mix on high for about 2 minute. It should look like frosting. Add powdered sugar, 1 C at a time, mixing on low after each addition.
Decorating tip:
I used an egg slicer to slice my strawberries. Then I start at the edge of the cake going around the cake until I come to a little hole in the center where I placed a whole strawberry.
Hi Nina! I am checking out some of the other entries on the Spiked Challenge and have to say yours looks fantastic! I made panko chicken with a champagne sauce... maybe we should pair th 2 together! I will also follow you along! Have a great day. Deb

Thank you! I hope you also have a great weekend!!!
DeleteHi! I see in your post that you said you added strawberry puree. I don't see that in the recipe. How much did you add? Did you omit something? Did you make the puree? The cake looks wonderful and I can't wait to try it! Thanks! Gmalisal@gmail.com
ReplyDeletesorry for the confusion, I was calling my crushed strawberries the strawberry puree. I just put my berries into a food processor and chopped them up. I added enough berries so that after processing them they measured 1/2 C...by putting them in the food processor it made them more liquid (more like puree) than just chopping them with a knife.
ReplyDeleteOh, gotcha! That makes sense. It just looks so good I wanted to be sure I got it right! Have a GREAT day!
DeleteBeautiful Strawberry cake. Thank you for sharing with the Clever Chicks Blog Hop this week; I hope you’ll join us again!

Strawberry cakes are so delicious, and I like the touch of champagne! Yummy.
ReplyDeleteI am making this for our Mother's Day celebration tomorrow. I'm hopping mine turns out as beautiful as yours! Is it ok to put the strawberries on top of the cake a day before or should I wait until tomorrow? and does the cake need to be kept in the fridge overnight?
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Kim
What a beautiful cake. I hope I get to try making one sometime. Thanks for sharing at the Inspiration Spotlight Party. Pinned & shared.
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful. Is there a substitution for champagne? Thanks
