Let’s Make it Together

Prepare Your Oven and Cake Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans with butter or nonstick spray for easy release.

Create the Batter Base: In a large bowl, whisk together cake flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until fully combined. This helps distribute these dry ingredients evenly.

Add Wet Ingredients Together: In another bowl, mix softened butter with eggs until creamy. Then incorporate the prosecco gently to avoid losing any bubbles – we want that fizz

Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add your dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined no need to overmix Lumps are perfectly fine here.

Bake Your Cakes: Divide batter equally into prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let them cool before removing from pans.

Create Whipped Frosting While Cakes Cool : In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Slowly add powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fluffy peaks form – yum
