I'm planning on making a Pink Champagne Cake for my Christmas Cake. Is there any one brand of Champagne that works best for cooking?

Thanks

I would just use a domestic champagne. I assume you're using the champagne for the bubbles?

I am using the Champagne in the recipe for the cake icon_smile.gif I was just curious if anyone knew of one that was better to cook with than another. I'm wanting my Christmas Cake to be special.

Usually the rule is to bake with what you'd eat but I don't understand baking with wine or champagne. Of course the fizz will bake out and how good is white wine in cake???

I would use champagne extract. I have done several that way and they tasted wonderful.
