Yet another question for the old Hollywood wedding cake. Below is my usual recipe,


My friend the bride wants a champagne flavoured wedding cake. There's only 1/2 a cup of water in the recipe, but I'd like more champagne than that I was thinking of reducing the sour cream to 1/2 cup and having 1 cup of champagne, what do you all think? I really want to keep the pudding mix and sour cream.


Hell I'd prefer to keep all the sour cream, I've already bought it plus I love it in the cake. Any thoughts on increasing the champagne?

I find champagne gets totally lost in cake batter to start with and is too expensive to pour too much of it in. So I don't offer a champagne cake but a filling. What I do to enhance the flavour is to brush the cake with champagne before I fill it. So instead of simple syrup. The filling is a white chocolate champagne filling which has more champagne than if I would just mix a few tsps with buttercream. Maybe you could do that?

Lol already doing champagne buttercream! But I love your idea of brushing it! I love my recipe I didn't want to change it, especially since I won't have time to test. She actually bought cooks California sparkling wine. So unless I'm missing something she's having a wine cake! Lol

Wilton has a champagne in their Treatology Flavor System.  I haven't used it so can't say if it's good.
