# Cooking Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line three 8-inch round cake pans.
02 - In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
04 - Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
05 - Mix in buttermilk, rosé wine, and vinegar. Gradually incorporate dry ingredients until just combined.
06 - Add pink food coloring gel gradually until the desired blush color is achieved.
07 - Divide batter among prepared pans. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
08 - Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
09 - 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, and repeat with remaining layers. Cover with a crumb coat, chill, then frost completely.
11 - Heat white chocolate and heavy cream in 20-second intervals until smooth. Cool to room temperature. Drip over cake edges.
12 - Mix gold luster dust with vodka or extract. Using a clean food-safe brush, gently paint the chocolate drip.
13 - Chill cake for at least 30 minutes before serving.
