It’s glitzy and glamorous and oh-so-fresh! It’s New Year celebration time soon, and I know you will just LOVE the idea of these triple-layer, naked Champagne Cupcakes! With a bit of sparkle, and a gold straw on top they look absolutely fabulous!
What a treat to greet guests at your New Year’s bash!
These need a bit of prep as the naked cupcake mixture needs to cool in the fridge for two hours or even overnight, to make cutting these babies easy and perfect.
So, what are you waiting for? Bring on the style, the glitz and the gold. And, of course, a bit of champagne! Remember to put some in the icing though!
Naked Champagne Cupcakes Recipe – Happy New Year!
- Yield: 8 triple-layered cakes 1x
Description
A delectable, triple-layered, naked champagne cupcake to ring in the New Year with cheer. And delicious taste bursts!
Ingredients
Cupcakes:
- 6 eggs, separate whites from yolks
- 1 cup of water
- 2 pinches of salt
- 6 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup oil
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3 cups flour
Champagne Icing:
- 1 cup butter
- 4 cups icing sugar
- 4 Tablespoons Champagne/ sparkling wine
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 390 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a deep baking sheet (approximately 18″ x 13″).
- Beat the egg whites until stiffly beaten with an electric mixer. Set aside.
- Beat the egg yolks, water, oil, sugar and salt.
- Add flour and baking powder and mix for a further 5 minutes.
- Fold in egg whites and place in greased baking tray.
- Bake for 20 – 30 minutes.
- Allow to cool in the tray and place in the fridge for 2 hours (or overnight). This makes cutting the cake easier.
- Use a cookie cutter (roughly 5-6 inches) to cut the cake into 24 circles. The leftover cake can be placed in the freezer and used for cake pops or trifle.
- Make sure the circles are level, pipe a circle of icing around the outer edge before placing another cake disc on top, taking care that the cakes don’t lean over.
- Finish with a piped decorative icing of your choice. And decorate with sparkly New Year accessories!
