How to Prepare Champagne Cake With Roasted Blueberries [Vegan]
To Roast the Blueberries:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Place blueberries in an oven-safe dish in a single layer and sprinkle with sugar. Roast in oven for 7-9 minutes, until juices have been released. Let cool.
To Make the Cake:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, combine champagne, non-dairy milk, lemon juice, oil, vanilla, and sugar and stir until sugar is dissolved.
- In another bowl, sift together dry ingredients. Add to wet and stir until just combined.
- Grease three 6-inch cake pans and line bottoms with parchment paper. Divide batter evenly and bake until the center bounces back when pressed, about 24-27 minutes. Let cool completely before frosting.
To Make the Frosting:
- Pulse blueberries in a food processor until puréed, leave chunky if desired.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter and shortening until fluffy. Add in vanilla, powdered sugar, and blueberry purée. Beat until combined, streaming in milk as needed to get desired consistency.
- Assemble by placing a cake layer, drizzling on some of the blueberry juices, spreading some frosting, then sprinkling on a third of the roasted berries. Repeat with other two layers. If fully frosting the cake, be sure to form a dam with the frosting before sprinkling on berries so they do not spill out the side.
