Typical recipes call for replacing the water with flat champagne(sparkling wine). You can also add some Loran Champagne flavoring.

I just did a Peach version using Peach Asti, Loran Peach, Loran Champange (just 2 drops of each) and peach color. It was subtle, but delicious. Because I was concerned about the texture, in this case, I used a DH yellow cake mix adding a drop of Americolor Red.

The bride loved it.

I just baked this PINK champagne recipe posted by cowdex and it was wonderful. Here is the post I retrieved it from:

Pink Champagne Cake: someone had asked for it when I (Discolady)posted my pics for the wedding cake tasting. It is SUPER MOIST and SUPER yummy and so romantic looking too when you cut into it.

1 box of French or white cake mix
2 envelopes Dream Whip (I tried it once using white chocolate pudding as a replacement but the DW makes it MUCH MUCH more moist...trust me!)
4 egg whites
1 whole egg
1/4 cup veggie oil
1 1/4 flat pink champagne (I used asti spumante)

Beat all ingredients together in mixer for 3 minutes. Add a couple of drops of light pink food color (keep it light or it looks too phony). Bake according to directions and til toothpick comes out clean.
When preparing the buttercream I used salted butter and replaced the milk with flat pink champagne...soooo yummy


Bodaisy posted this - is it the one?


It sounds as though you are looking for just a champagne recipe, but unless you use pink coloring, I had a hard time noting pink in this batter. There are a few in the recipies if you pull that up and type in champagne.

I use a box cake mix and replace water with champaign. My suggestion is to use extra dry champaign. I have experimented with others but they just don't taste as good. Look on the bootle - it says extra dry right on it. Stay away from Brut or Spumante types. Also, I find that the cake mixes that use 1/3 cup oil rahter than the DH that uses less - don't turn out as good.
