  • 1 ¼ cups (250g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120ml) rosé wine
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • Pink food coloring gel (as needed)
• For the Rosé Cream Cheese Frosting
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 4 cups (480g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 tbsp rosé wine
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
• For the Gold Drip
  • ½ cup (85g) white chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • Edible gold luster dust
  • 1 tsp vodka or clear extract (for painting)

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

For an intensified rosé flavor, brush the cooled cake layers lightly with reserved rosé wine before assembling the cake. This step enhances moisture and flavor complexity. Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for smoother batter consistency. Use an offset spatula for easy and even frosting application. Chill your cake adequately between crumb coating and final frosting to achieve a flawless finish.

Varianten und Anpassungen

To accommodate non-alcoholic guests, substitute rosé wine with sparkling grape juice without compromising the delicate flavor profile. Experiment with edible flowers, delicate gold leaf, or fresh berries as garnish for added elegance. For a more dramatic look, adjust the pink food coloring gel gradually to achieve a deeper blush hue matching your event’s theme.

Serviervorschläge

Serve this Rosé Velvet Cake chilled or at room temperature alongside a glass of rosé or sparkling wine for a perfect pairing. The creamy frosting and moist cake layers complement fresh berries and light floral desserts, making it ideal for afternoon tea parties or elegant bridal showers. Cut into generous slices to showcase the beautiful layers and gold accents.
