  - 4 cups (480g) powdered sugar, sifted
  - 2 tbsp rosé wine

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line three 8-inch round cake pans.

2. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

3. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).

4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Add vanilla extract.

5. Mix in buttermilk, rosé wine, and vinegar. Gradually add dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

6. Add pink food coloring gel, a little at a time, until the desired blush color is achieved.

7. Divide the batter equally among prepared pans. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

8. Let cakes cool in pans 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.

9. For the frosting: Beat butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, then beat in rosé wine, vanilla, and salt until fluffy.

10. Level cake layers if needed. Place one layer on a cake stand, spread with frosting, repeat with remaining layers. Cover cake with thin layer of frosting (crumb coat), chill 30 minutes, then frost completely.

11. For the gold drip: Heat white chocolate and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Cool to room temperature. Drip over cake edges with a spoon or squeeze bottle.

12. Mix gold luster dust with vodka or extract to make a paint. Using a clean food-safe brush, gently paint the chocolate drip with the gold mixture.

13. Chill cake for at least 30 minutes before serving.

To make a non-alcoholic version, substitute the rosé wine with sparkling grape juice. Additionally, decorate the cake with edible flowers, gold leaf, or fresh berries for an extra elegant touch suited to any celebration.

Serviervorschläge

Serve this Rosé Velvet Cake chilled, allowing the gold drip to glisten beautifully. Pair with a glass of rosé wine or sparkling beverage to complement the cake’s subtle flavors and enhance the celebratory experience.
