A little prosecco (or Champagne) is the secret to the fluffiest cakes we've ever made.

Ingredients

For the Cupcakes

  • 1 box white cake mix (or strawberry cake mix)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1 1/4 cups Champagne or Prosecco
  • 2/3 cup diced strawberries

For the Frosting

  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 3 Tbsp. Champagne

For the Strawberry topping

  • 4 sliced strawberries
  • 1 tsp. sugar

Directions

    1. Step 1Preheat the oven based on cake mix box instructions and grease the bottom and sides of a cupcake tin, or fill each cup with cupcake liners.
    2. Step 2Make the cupcakes: Beat cake mix, egg whites, oil, and champagne until thoroughly combined (it will be bubbly). Fold in strawberries, then fill each cup of the muffin tin about two-thirds of the way full with cake mix. Bake according to the box instructions for cupcakes—typically 350° for 18 to 20 minutes — or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs (no gooey batter). Set aside to cool.
    3. Step 3Make the frosting: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat sugar and butter on low until combined. Gradually stir in vanilla and champagne, starting with just 1 tablespoon and gradually adding more until the consistency is smooth and easy to spread. (If it gets too thin, add a spoonful of powdered sugar.) Frost each cupcake.
    4. Step 4Make the strawberry topping: Slice strawberries and add sugar. Let them sit for 18 to 20 minutes to release juices, then top each cupcake with a slice.
