# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line three 8-inch round cake pans.
02 - In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
04 - Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Add vanilla extract.
05 - Mix in buttermilk, rosé wine, and vinegar. Gradually add dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
06 - Add pink food coloring gel, a little at a time, until the desired blush color is achieved.
07 - Divide the batter equally among prepared pans. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
08 - Let cakes cool in pans 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
09 - For the frosting: Beat butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, then beat in rosé wine, vanilla, and salt until fluffy.
10 - Level cake layers if needed. Place one layer on a cake stand, spread with frosting, repeat with remaining layers. Cover cake with thin layer of frosting (crumb coat), chill 30 minutes, then frost completely.
11 - For the gold drip: Heat white chocolate and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Cool to room temperature. Drip over cake edges with a spoon or squeeze bottle.
12 - Mix gold luster dust with vodka or extract to make a paint. Using a clean food-safe brush, gently paint the chocolate drip with the gold mixture.
13 - Chill cake for at least 30 minutes before serving.
