Ingredients

for the cake

  • 4 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp fat free milk
  • 2 tbsp dry champagne
  • 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil

for the frosting (serves 2)

  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tbsp dry champagne
  • 2 tsp granulated sugar

Instructions
 

  • For the cake: Combine all ingredients into an oversized microwave-safe mug. Mix with a small whisk until batter is smooth. If desired, pour batter into a full-sized champagne flute (at least 6 oz). Make sure the batter only fills up half of the flute as it will likely rise past the top when finished cooking. 
  • Cook in the microwave for about 1 minute. Top of cake should be dry. If cakes have risen past the rim, you can push them back down before frosting. Cakes are best consumed soon after being cooked otherwise, they lose the champagne flavor and fizz.
  • To make the frosting: combine frosting ingredients into the bowl of stand mixer and whip on high speed until stiff peaks form. Let cake cool a few minutes before frosting tops of cakes. 

Notes

  • For best results use a freshly popped open bottle of bubbly. If your champagne has started to go flat, it will be very hard to taste it in the cake.
  • I highly recommend you make this with the frosting otherwise the cake is quite plain and the champagne flavor very faint. Also please don't make these too far ahead of time, as the cakes will lose their fizz and champagne flavor.
