 Ingredients

Here’s a list of all the ingredients for this Champagne Cake recipe, provided in both grams and cups. If you follow these exact measurements, I’m sure your cake will turn out perfectly delicious and fluffy!

Step-by-Step Champagne Cake Recipe

Preparing the Cake Pan:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (172°C).
2. Prepare a 10-inch round cake pan:
   • If using a regular pan, grease the sides and bottom with oil and dust with flour.
   • If using a nonstick pan, you can skip the flour and oil, as the surface is already greased.

Preparing Dry Ingredients

• All-purpose flour
• Baking powder
• Salt

Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together into the bowl. Make sure to mix them well to combine all the dry ingredients evenly.

Mix Wet Ingredients:

   In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups (300 grams) of granulated sugar and ⅔ cup (150 grams) of unsalted butter. Use an electric mixer to mix until the mixture is light and smooth. Gradually add ¾ cup (180 ml) of champagne, mixing until well combined.

Add Eggs:

In a clean bowl, separate the egg whites and yolks. Beat the egg whites at high speed until stiff peaks form, ensuring the eggs are at room temperature. Crack each egg into a separate container to avoid contaminating the mixture. If desired, add a few drops of vanilla essence. Gently fold in the dry ingredients using the fold method, being very careful to prevent the cake from not rising properly.

Bake The Cake

  Bake the Champagne Cake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 to 35 minutes, depending on your oven temperature. After 30 minutes, check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready. If the toothpick feels sticky, continue baking for an additional 5 to 10 minutes. This Champagne Cake recipe is ready very quickly compared to other cakes. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes. Once slightly cooled, transfer it to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before cutting and removing it from the mold.

Cake Decorating Ideas for Your Champagne Cake Recipe

Everyone has different color preferences, but I will share some ideas that can elevate your celebration and showcase your baking efforts. If you want to glam up your Champagne Cake recipe with cake decorating, consider using rose gold, Bright Gold Tinker Dust Spray, and Ivory Tinker Dust Spray. These sprays will give your Champagne Cake an extra shine and sparkle. If you prefer a different color, like pink, you can try Pink Rose Edible Glitter. All these shades of food spray are more than enough, but if you try something else, definitely share your ideas with me!

Frosting Options:

    Whipped Cream: I used whipped cream for frosting because it creates an airy and light texture. This option is perfect for those looking for a less sweet alternative.

    Cream Cheese Frosting: This frosting adds a tangy flavor that balances the sweetness of the cake.

    White Chocolate Ganache: A white chocolate ganache provides a luxurious, glossy finish. When combined with glittery food decorations, it looks absolutely amazing! 😍

Tips for Applying Frosting for a Professional Finish:

First, fill a piping bag with the frosting cream. Apply a thin layer of frosting (crumb coat) to cover all the crumbs on the cake. This will allow the crumbs to set, making it easier to apply the final coating.

Final Finishing: Use a turning table, a normal-sized spatula, and a bench or plane scraper. If you’re creating a zig-zag pattern, remove the cake from the refrigerator and apply the whipped cream. Start frosting at the top of the cake, then gradually work your way down the sides. Move slowly to ensure even coverage.    

Smooth the Finish:  Hold the scraper gently and lightly touch it to the cream while simultaneously rotating the turning table. This technique will help stabilize the frosting and create a smooth finish for your Champagne Cake Recipe.
