Once I found this recipe, I knew I was going to have to make it sometime, and I was hoping it would be soon!
We ended up having a girls weekend this weekend -- and so it was the perfect excuse to make this cute cupcakes!
The recipe was really easy, and the final outcome was delicious! There were a lot of compliments on the treat!
Pink Champagne Cupcakes
recipe from Renee Julia
Pink Champagne Cupcakes
1 box of white cake mix
1 ¼ cups of champagne or sparkling wine
1/3 cup of vegetable oil
3 egg whites or 2 whole eggs with yolk
A touch of pink cake frosting coloring or food coloring
Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare baking cups in a muffin pan that holds 24 muffins.
Crack 3 eggs and separate the egg whites from the yolk. Keep the egg whites handy in a bowl.
Mix together with an electric mixer the 1 ¼ cups of pink champagne (or sparkling pink wine) along with the cake mix until smooth. Add in the oil, 3 egg whites, and a just a tiny bit of the cake frosting color (I used food coloring).
Beat with electric mixer at medium speed in a large mixing bowl for about three or four minutes until creamy. Pour batter into the cupcake liners about 2/3 of the way full.
Place in oven and bake for 17 minutes or until toothpick or knife inserted in center comes out clean.
When done, allow pan to cool for 5 minutes and then remove and place cupcakes onto a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely for about 30-40 minutes.
Pink Champagne Frosting
½ cup of soft margarine
4 cups confectioner’s sugar
¼ cup champagne
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
A touch of pink cake frosting coloring or food coloring
To prepare the frosting while the cupcakes are cooling, beat together 4 cups of confectioner’s sugar, one stick of margarine, and ¼ cup of pink champagne (or sparkling pink wine), and a touch of the cake frosting color/food coloring with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. Then increase the speed to high for 3 more minutes—this makes it extra fluffy.
Use a star tip, a knife, or another tip of your choice to frost the cupcakes. Decorate with sprinkles or pearls.
