Green Velvet Cake with Baileys Cream Cheese Frosting #dessertrecipe #chocolatecake #cheesecake #cookiessimplerecipe

Green Velvet Cake with Baileys Cream Cheese Frosting, is the ideal cake to observe St. Patrick's Day! A heavenly sodden cake with the ideal measure of that Irish Cream Whisky to take it over the top!

Having an Irish foundation on my dad's side doesn't hurt. Everything is green, I recollect when I was a child I would go to McDonald's and get myself one of those green milk shakes, at that point I got somewhat more seasoned (alright a significant number years more established) and would get myself a green lager.

Presently I make myself a Green Velvet Cake with Baileys Cream Cheese Frosting. Just continues improving.

I once in a while use nourishment shading so I most likely went excessively green, so I will surrender that over to you. Obviously I utilized my new top pick, greek yogurt.

I have found there is in no way like greek yogurt to draw out the clamminess in a cake. I additionally incline toward it to buttermilk or sharp milk. On account of its thickness you once in a while need to include a tablespoon or two of milk.
