Champagne cake

I found a great recipe for Champagne cake when I was searching the internet the other day. I generally make÷ boxed mixes and add ingredients to them to spice them up, but I decided to live on the edge and try÷ making a cake from scratch. Also÷ my husband and I don"t drink but were given a bottle of champagne as a gift and didn"t know what to do with it, so we found a great recipe for this champagne cake. It uses cake flour, which I used King Arthur unbleached cake flour for this recipe, 6 egg whites, which I seperated myself instead of using powdered egg whites, champagne, sugar and other ingredients (listed at the link below). It was fairly simple to bake, and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the recipe. I topped it off with buttercream icing, made from scratch as well. There is something to be said for making cakes from scratch. They taste fluffy and light, and so flavorful. It is definitely one of those recipes that I will pull out for holidays and special occasions. This is not the last time my family has had this cake. I will definitely make it again! Don"t get me wrong, I love the convenience of boxed cake mixes, but I"m becoming a fan of making cakes from scratch too. Recipe can be found below, in author Bio section http://melindajoy.blogspot.com/2009/10/piece-of-cake.html I hope that you and your family and friends enjoyed this recipe as much as my husband and I did. Thank you! Let me know how your cakes turned out!
