Ingredients
  

  • 1 box White Cake Mix I used Betty Crocker
  • 3 large Egg
  • 1 cup Champagne
  • 1/3 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1/4 cup Orange Juice squeezed from the orange
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 large Orange zested
  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Champagne
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter 1 stick, at room temperature
  • 4 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Heavy Cream or milk
  • 6 Strawberry washed, dried and thinly sliced
  • pinch of Salt
  • 1 large Orange zested

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch by 13-inch pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients: cake mix, eggs, champagne, oil, orange juice, vanilla extract and orange zest.
  • Beat all of the ingredients until they are well blended. Pour the batter into the prepared pan
  • Bake at 350°F for 18-22 minutes. Test the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cupcake is done. Allow the cake to cool.
  • Melt the butter over medium heat in a saucepan.
  • Stir in water and sugar, bring to a boil and continue for 5 minutes on medium-high while stirring constantly. Mixture will become bubbly and thick.
  • Remove from heat and stir in champagne, continue to mix until smooth, glaze will become much thinner. Set aside to cool for at least 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Start by poking holes in the top of the cakes using a wooden spoon or other round object.
  • Pour the cooled glaze over top of the cake and allow the cake to cool completely.
  • Allow the cream cheese and butter to come to room temperature.
  • Beat the cream cheese and butter together until they are smooth, scraping down the bowl occasionally.
  • Slowly add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, continuing to beat the frosting all together. As the frosting starts to thicken, add the heavy cream.
  • Lastly, Add the chopped strawberries, pinch of salt and orange zest and increase the mixer to high and until for another 60 seconds until all the ingredients are well mixed.
  • Spread the cream cheese over the cooled cake. The frosting will be relatively thin, but it will thicken in the refrigerator. Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours and keep refrigerated when not serving.
