Directions

• Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Spray two 9 cake pans with nonstick cooking spray with flour; set aside.
• Place cake mix in large mixing bowl; whisk to break up lumps. Add remaining cake ingredients; whisk 2-3 minutes or until smooth.
• Divide batter between pans, spreading evenly.
• Bake 20-24 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in centers comes out clean.
• Remove pans from oven. Press cakes gently with a clean kitchen towel; cool 10 minutes. Invert cakes onto cooling rack, then invert again so cakes are top-side up; cool completely.
• Meanwhile, combine raspberries, sugar, water, and 3/4 cup of the champagne.
• Cook on medium-high heat 6-10 minutes or until mixture comes to a boil.
• Combine cornstarch and remaining champagne in a small bowl; stir until smooth.
• Add cornstarch mixture slowly to pan, whisking constantly.
• Cook 2-3 minutes or until mixture is thickened.
• Strain into a small mixing bowl; discard seeds.
• Refrigerate sauce 1 hour or until cool.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat Cool-Whip and marshmallow fluff on high speed of electric hand mixer until soft peaks form.
• Place one cake on a cutting board and carefully slice cake in half horizontally to form two layers. Repeat with remaining cake.
• Place one layer on your cake plate.
• Spread with 2/3 cup of the frosting, then add a layer of raspberry sauce; top with another cake layer.
• Repeat with remaining layers.
• Frost top and sides of cake with remaining frosting. Garnish with raspberries, if desired.
