Servings 8 -10

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box white cake mix
  • 1 1/3 cup champagne
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup butter
  • 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz fresh raspberries

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Combine the cake mix, champagne, eggs and oil and whisk until smooth.
  • Pour the cake mix into two greased circular cake pans and bake at 350F until a toothpick comes out clean (about 25-30 minutes).
  • Place each cake in the refrigerator until completely cooled (about 30-45 minutes).
  • For the frosting, Use a mixer (use the paddle attachment if you own one) to cream the butter until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
  • Slowly add the sugar, scraping down the sides of the bowl, a little at a time.
  • After all of the sugar is added, add the vanilla and continue beating until the icing is smooth and light (icing may appear dry).
  • Chop half of the raspberries in a food processor (about 2 minutes). Set aside the remaining fruit for toppings.
  • Next, add the milk and processed raspberries to the frosting and continue to mix until smooth (about 2 minutes).
  • Remove the cakes from the fridge, frost the top of one, then stack the two cakes to finish frosting.
  • Top with fresh raspberries before serving.
