Pink Champagne Cake

Booze Cakes.  I got this cookbook a couple of years ago and just tried it for the first time.  Booze + Cake = 😀  Happy taste buds!  Considering there are 2 cups of champagne in the cake and 1/2 cup in the frosting, it surprisingly does not taste like champagne at all.  The bubbles and liquid somehow create a moist and dense cake that if wonderfully complimented by the sweet frosting.   Lets get boozey.

Mix the champagne with your batter…

Bake those cakes!

Then make your frosting!

Garnish with raspberries!
