Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line three 8-inch round cake pans.
- 2. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- 3. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
- 4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Add vanilla extract.
- 5. Mix in buttermilk, rosé wine, and vinegar. Gradually add dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- 6. Add pink food coloring gel, a little at a time, until the desired blush color is achieved.
- 7. Divide the batter equally among prepared pans. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- 8. Let cakes cool in pans 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
- 9. For the frosting: Beat butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, then beat in rosé wine, vanilla, and salt until fluffy.

- 13. Chill cake for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
