Champagne Cake

The flavor of this cake was interesting. A little on the citrus side. the cake was dense but my husband really liked it.

Awesome, best I’ve tried, added 1.5 tsp vanilla, 1.5 tsp clear vanilla, used cake flour, added a drip of pink to champagne, turned out perfect!

First time making a stiff cake, read the reviews for pointers. I as well added a full cup of the champagne. It’s in the oven now! Excited to try It!

This does not actually taste of champagne. It’s just overly sweet. Not a create idea

Love the flavor! The texture is a bit unusual, I agree with that others that it’s a little bready. I thinned it out with extra champagne, probably 1/3 of a cup more, and liked how that turned out. I also added some champagne to my buttercream and it enhanced the flavor nicely. Recommend!

The only change I made was using sparkling grape juice as we don’t consume alcohol. It probably made the difference but all in all, it was just ok. It was moist though and rather than throw it out, I made a dump cake and pour eggnog into it….not bad. Thanks for the recipe though.

This cake was moist and dense! Very delicious and light. I made it with a vanilla buttercream frosting. The mix of a not so sweet cake with a sweet frosting was sublime! I made it for 50 people and everyone loved it! Thank you for sharing this recipe!

Pretty tasty. I added one heaping cup of sugar and frosted with a basic white buttercream.

Well we had champagne left over and found this recipe. All the reviews were great. Following the instruction of the egg whites and added a cup of champagne plus a smidge for batter to be moist. I did mini and regular cupcakes and they all turned out perfect with a pound cake feel with a springy bounce. I will use the standard salted butter cream frosting and add lime juice to lighten the frosting. Will also add lime zest for show and taste. This will be a new go to for me as the cake is light and will pair great with fruit, chocolate, or just whip cream.

The finished product has the texture of bread.

This is one of the BEST cakes I’ve ever made! I used a full cup of Moscato instead of Champagne and the flavor was wonderful. I used eggs from our chickens which vary in size so I added an extra white to make sure I had enough. If you put your bowl and whisk attachment into the freezer until you’re ready to whip your whites, it won’t take very long to get them to reach stiff peaks. I didn’t have any problems with the cake being “crumbly”. Mine turned out very dense and moist and the texture was perfect. I made a light butter cream icing and topped it with fresh raspberries and blueberries. The manager of the restaurant we were at said it was one of the best cakes she’d ever tasted. Thanks for a great recipe!!

I don’t normally leave feedback on recipes, however this one was fantastic! It’s light, slightly dense but not like a pound cake. I used a full cup of champagne like someone else suggested. Topped with an orange cream glaze. I haven’t had this much excitement over a cake in a while. Definitely worth trying!

I used a 10″ springform pan to make this which ups the baking time to somewhere around 40 minutes or so. The texture and flavor were good. (Even with the egg whites, this is going to be close to a pound cake batter….very dense…) Instead of icing/frosting (I’m personally NOT a huge fan of those..)…I made a chocolate/seedless raspberry glaze to drizzle across the top. Very good.

I did not care for this recipe. Flour mixture was so thick I was afraid I would burn out my mixer motor. Added egg whites and it turned to mush. The cake never cooked in the middle despite using pan insulators. The texture was coarse and grainy — in the spots where it cooked — and it was way too salty. I’m retired, not a novice in the kitchen, and followed all the helpful tips (used a bubbly moscato that was very tasty by itself).

Delicious! However, due to the alcohol it has an almost bread-taste that some of the people who tasted my cake found strange. Loved it though, just make sure you follow the recipe and get those egg whites to the right consistency.

I tested out this recipe for an upcoming wedding cake that I’ll be making. Although not the simplest of recipes, it turned out delicious, everyone who tried it was really impressed. I prepared it with a simple vanilla icing, and I layered it with an irish cream filling. I am deciding not to use it for the cake, because it is a very dense, moist cake, (partially due to the filling I’m sure) and I don’t think it will hold up well enough. This would be a great cake to have with tea or coffee. I will make it again.

This came out way to bready. I’m a professional baker and I followed this to the tee. I believe that it needs more sugar to tenderize, possibly more fat and most likely needs cake flour vs. AP. I made this for my boyfriend’s birthday and was very disappointed. I don’t even have time to make another one now.

I have made this cake twice. The first time, I used a rose champagne, which was slightly sweet. The second, a drier plain champagne. My husband and I really preferred the rose champagne. I also used a whole cup, as suggested by other reviewers, and then also poured some (what I had left after drinking a couple of glasses) onto the cake after it came out of the oven. I frosted it with a rose flavored buttercream–just substitute rose extract instead of vanilla. It was delicious and everyone raved over it.

I followed the recipe exactly and followed advice from other reviewers. However, my cake turned out dry and had more of a biscuit/muffin like texture rather than a cakey texture. I also could not taste much champagne. I added strawberry jam and white chocolate chips, that helped slightly. Don’t think I will use this recipe again.

The cake was good along with the icing but the icing over powered the whole cake. My advice it do one or the other not both, cause it gave me kind of a headach and this is coming from a 22 year old!

These cupcakes were incredible. They came out wonderfully light and fluffy. I made them a little more decadent for New Year’s by adding a sabayon filling and an orange cream cheese frosting to create a mimosa cupcake.
