It’s that time of the year again, when baking is at an all time high. One of my favorite cakes to bake is red velvet. Let’s be honest red velvet is one of the best cakes ever, but it’s really just a chocolate cake with food coloring, lol. Nonetheless, it’s still one of my favorite.
While visiting family in Dayton, OH, I noticed Bailey’s released a limited edition Red Velvet drink. Now, Baileys is great in coffee and drinks, but I wondered how would it taste in a cake. So I decided to try to a spiked red velvet cake. Baileys hit the nail on the head with the taste, but would it translate in a cake? Yes, it did. It was really good. You get a hint of the Baileys and it did not over power the cake.
Here is my recipe for a “Spiked Red Velvet Cake”.
Recipe for Spiked Red Velvet Cake
Cake Time
Add Sugar, Oil, and Buttermilk together and mix.
Mix in Baileys Red Velvet
Do not fill to the top. Leave a little room for cake to rise.
Frosting Time
Mix sugar and cream cheese together.
Add a stick of butter
Add in Vanilla
If you do not like the butter cream consistency, simple add in a cup of whip cream. Now your icing is light and airy.

The idea for Meals and Miles came one summer evening in July of 2014, while riding in the car to Washington D.C.  Monique always wanted to start a blog, but never knew what to blog about. We were laughing at some of the adjectives our friends use to describe us and our love for traveling. So we thought, "Why not show others how to have fun with their spouse? Why not blog about our trips? Why not show people the things we do?" We thought of names for our site the whole weekend. And during one of our random laugh sessions, as Leon was talking crazy, meals and miles came up and it stuck!

I’m not much a of red velvet girl, I think I might have taste just a itty bitty piece and wasn’t really feeling it. But now that I’ve read your post, I feel like I want to give it another try!
These sound really good. My sister-in-law had her 50th recently and had a bottle of the red velvet baileys. I couldn’t try it because I’m pregnant, but can’t wait to.
