Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve and you know me; I have the whole menu planned. It wasn’t until today that I realized I hadn’t planned any dessert. What’s a party without dessert?! I scoured my cupboards to come up with a dessert from the ingredients I had AND make it beautiful. These ended up so good that it may have to be a new New Year’s tradition!
Ingredients
Cake
1 box yellow or white cake mix (the white would have been prettier)
Sparkling Rosè
Strawberry Compote
2 c frozen strawberries
1/3 c sugar
1 T sparkling Rosè
1 recipe 7 Minute Frosting
Make the cake according to the directions on the box. Instead of water substitute the Rosè. You may need to cook a little longer than it calls for. Just test your cake with a toothpick to check donenes.
While the cake is baking make the compote. Combine all compote ingredients in a saucepan and cook on medium heat until it starts to thicken. Mash the strawberries some after cooked.
Make your 7 minute frosting. I just used the traditional Better Homes and Gardens recipe.
Once cake cools. Layer in a champagne flute: cake, compote, frosting. Repeat until filled. Top with pearls or edible gold dust and a fresh strawberry.
HAPPY NEW YEAR’S!!! 🥂
