Shake Me Up Before You Go Go: The Red Velvet Cake Shake
This is a guest post from CakeSpy.
There's a reason why you've never tried a Red Velvet Cake Shake.
That reason, of course, is that the recipe relies on you having an extra slice of Red Velvet laying around, and as anyone knows, this is a highly unlikely occurrence.
However, after this weekend's Red Velvet Cake tasting, I found myself in such an unlikely situation. And given some time to consider it, a beautiful phrase came to mind: Red Velvet Cake Shake. Could it possibly be as good as it sounded?
The answer, of course, is yes. This shake is basically made of awesome: it has tangy cream cheese frosting, rich, moist cake, and sweet, creamy ice cream--all mixed into one pretty pink parfait.
Of course, if your instinct is to cry "too much", I do have a suggestion: call it a smoothie. No, this doesn't actually alter the recipe, but don't you feel healthier already?
Red Velvet Cake Shake
Ingredients
- 1 slice Red Velvet Cake
- 2 big--and I mean big--scoops of ice cream (I used strawberry; I think that vanilla would also work well)
- 1/2 to 3/4 cups milk
Procedure
Put all of the ingredients in a blender. Blend until the shake has reached your desired consistency--shorter if you like little bits of cake in your shake, longer if you like a smoother texture. Add more ice cream for a thicker shake, more milk for a thinner one, as needed.
Have you ever put cake in your milkshake?

If only my diet allowed...
no i have never put cake in a milk shake but I have put a slice of cake in a bowl, covered it with milk, and ate it like cereal ... i do that alot with cookies too. Yums ... now every one knows why i need a diet lol
Interesting concept..
chocolate cake, baileys and kaluah, ice cream and bit of milk...yum.
No, I have never tried cake in a milkshake before but then again I don't care for milkshakes unless it's from Ruby's Diner for a special treat. Fast food shakes are way too sweet and rich.
Yummm...only in my calorie-free dreams.
This is kind of like the Portillo's chocolate cake shake. Most delicious thing on the planet, but I only have it once in a blue moon.
@Islandgirl566@xanga - that sounds sooo good i need to try this!
this makes me drool. im so hungry..
I'd rather just eat the cake seperate.
