Submitted by Sandaidh on April 1, 2007 - 4:53pm. Champagne custard cakeBack when I lived in California, I used to get a champagne custard cake from the bakery at a local supermarket. The original supermarket has now been gone many years, and for the life of me, I CANNOT remember the name of it. However, after that market closed, I was able to get them at the bakery in Albertson's. Since moving to New York, I have searched the internet for a recipe and come up empty-handed. Does anyone know of this cake and/or have a recipe or know where I can get the recipe? Description-wise, the cake is a two-layer, round, white cake, with a champagne custard "filling" between the layers. Frosting is white with pink shavings on it, and usually some cherries on top. Flavor-wise, the best I can come up with is that it tastes...pink. LOL Probably calorie laden to the extreme, which is why I always saved it for my birthday. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Champagne Custard
While searching for the exact same thing, I came across this:
1 cup dry champagne or other sparkling wine
3/4 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
5 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
6 tablespoons chilled whipping cream
1. in large metal bowl, whisk the champagne, sugar, cornstarch, yolks and corn syrup to blend
2. set bowl over a bain marie
3. whisk constantly until mixture has tripled in volume and candy thermometer registers 160°F., about 15 minutes
4. transfer to the bowl of an electric mixer, beat until completely cool, about 5 minutes
5. in a clean bowl, beat cream to soft peaks
6. fold cream into cooled custard
7. cover and store in fridge until ready to use (can be prepared 1 day ahead)
I hope it is what you are looking for.

Champagne cake / Champagne Custard Cake
You can still get this cake in the Napa Valley at Butter Cream Bakery. They use a white chiffon cake with champagne custard filling and buttercream frosting.

Yes, I know, but I don't
Yes, I know, but I don't live in the Napa Valley any more, and somehow I doubt they'd be able to ship me one since I now live in western NY. That's why I'm trying to find a recipe.
