Champagne Cake
Nothing says New Year’s Eve quite like a glass of bubbly and if you’re looking to take your celebration to the next level, why not have champagne in your cake? Champagne cake is a delicious and festive way to welcome in the new year and is sure to wow your guests. To make this celebratory treat, you’ll need 2 1⁄2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda, 1⁄2 teaspoon salt, 1 cup butter, 1 1⁄2 cups sugar, 4 large eggs, 1⁄4 cup orange juice, 3⁄4 cup champagne, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and greasing two 8-inch round pans. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Slowly pour in the orange juice and champagne while mixing on low speed. Gradually add in the flour mixture until just combined. Divide the batter between the two pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely before icing. You can get creative with icing flavors such as champagne buttercream or a traditional cream cheese frosting.
Now you’re ready to start the New Year off with an impressive, yet delicious, champagne cake!

In another bowl, mix together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1⁄2 teaspoon of salt. Alternately add the dry ingredients and 1 cup of milk to the creamed butter mixture. Gently fold in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and 1 cup of chopped fresh strawberries.
Pour the batter into two greased 8 inch round pans and bake at 350°F for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool the cakes on a wire rack before frosting.
For the strawberry frosting, beat together 3 tablespoons of softened butter, 3 cups of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream. Gently fold in 1⁄2 cup of chopped fresh strawberries. Frost the cooled cake layers and decorate with whole strawberries if desired.
