Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line three 8-inch round cake pans.
- 2. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- 3. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
- 4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Add vanilla extract.
- 5. Mix in buttermilk, rosé wine, and vinegar. Gradually add dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- 6. Add pink food coloring gel, a little at a time, until the desired blush color is achieved.
- 7. Divide the batter equally among prepared pans. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- 8. Let cakes cool in pans 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
- 9. For the frosting: Beat butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, then beat in rosé wine, vanilla, and salt until fluffy.
- 10. Level cake layers if needed. Place one layer on a cake stand, spread with frosting, repeat with remaining layers. Cover cake with thin layer of frosting (crumb coat), chill 30 minutes, then frost completely.
- 11. For the gold drip: Heat white chocolate and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Cool to room temperature. Drip over cake edges with a spoon or squeeze bottle.
- 12. Mix gold luster dust with vodka or extract to make a paint. Using a clean food-safe brush, gently paint the chocolate drip with the gold mixture.
- 13. Chill cake for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to achieve the best texture and rise. Sifting the dry ingredients thoroughly avoids lumps and guarantees a tender crumb. The pink food coloring should be added gradually to control the perfect blush hue.
Varianten und Anpassungen
