Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 1 box (1-pound 2 1/4-ounce) moist white cake mix
- 1 1/4 cups extra dry Champagne
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large egg whites
- 1 can whipped white frosting
- 1/4 teaspoon Champagne flavoring
- Silver mini disco balls, optional
- Silver Dragees, optional, if available in your area
- Silver edible glitter, optional
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat the bottom of a 9 by-13-inch cake pan with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl combine the cake mix, Champagne, vegetable oil, and egg whites. Beat on low speed with an electric mixer until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula and continue beating on medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Remove it from the oven and cool completely.
Empty the frosting into a small bowl and add the Champagne flavoring. Stir to combine and set aside.
To make the mini-cakes, with a 3-inch ring mold (or use an 8-ounce pineapple can with top and bottom removed) stamp out 6 cakes. Slice the cakes in half, horizontally, to make layers. Frost the bottom layer, replace the top layer and frost the tops and sides of cake. Decorate with the disco balls, Dragees, and glitter, if using.
Cook's notes: Champagne flavoring and edible glitter are available where cake and candy making supplies are sold. Dragees, or silver candy balls, are not available in all states.

i make this cake every thanksgiving and christmas. my family loves it, so much so i double the receipe when i make it. i find the extract in many available stores. ac moore, michaels or even a local candy store carries it. any store that carries wilton cake products more than likely will have the extract. i have also used pink champagne and the cake was a wonderful pink color.

You can buy Champagne Flavoring/Extract at online bakery shops. I got mine at http://www.layercakeshop.com/index.php/Shop/Baking/Champagne-Flavoring-Oil.html at Layer Cake Shop, and there are others.
