We all know champagne is the iconic beverage for New Year’s Eve, but why limit it to your glass? Let’s enjoy some bubbly in our dessert too! This easy recipe (read: box cake mix) is simple enough to make in a pinch but will delight your party guests!
Ingredients:
1 box vanilla cake mix
4 cups powered sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
Fun decorations like sprinkles!
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350° and line two cupcake pans with cupcake liners. In a large bowl, mix cake mix with 1½ cups champagne. Bake according to package directions and let cool completely before frosting.
*For mini cupcakes, bake for only about 8-9 minutes, this will make a lot of minis!
Meanwhile, make champagne frosting: In a large bowl, combine butter, 2 cups powdered sugar, vanilla, salt, and remaining ¼ cup champagne. Using a hand mixer, beat until smooth. Add the remaining 2 cups powdered sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
Pipe frosting onto your cupcakes and decorate! I used a Fancy Sprinkles mix and prism powder on mine - use code “EVENTFULLYCHELSEA15”
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
