These are simply and quick and nice for valentine's Day. I didn't use real pink champagne. I bought some cheap sparkling pink Mascoto but any sweet sparkling wine would work fine. I have never opened a bottle of wine with a champagne cork. I took it outside because I was scared it would explode but it was easy and didn't make a mess just a pop sound.
Here is the cake:
1 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of butter
2 eggs
1 3/4 cups of flour
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1/4 teaspoon of baking powder
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup of sour cream
1/2 cup of sweet sparkling wine
pink or red food coloring (I had pink from the neon set)
Cream together butter and sugar until fluffy. Then mix in eggs and vanilla
In a separate bowl mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and set a side
Whisk together wine, sour cream, and food coloring. (I like vibrant colors but you can use less too. Start off with a little if you have red you don't want to have your cake look like red velvet)
Slowly add flour mixture to batter and then wine and sour cream mixture
Line a muffin pan and fill 2/3 of the way with batter. Bake for 15-20 min in a preheated 350 oven. When a tooth pick comes out with only a couple crumbs then they are done.
Cool before frosting. You can see the one that didn't get enough batter.
Frosting
4 cups of powdered sugar
1/2 cup of butter
1/4 cup of sweet sparkling wine
1 tablespoon of vanilla
pink or red food coloring
Cream together wine and butter
Slowly add powdered sugar until desired consistency and food coloring.
Frost away
