Vegas Bomb Cake with Red Bull Frosting

One of our long term guests is turning 21 and to celebrate his coming of age, I decided to make him a cake of his favourite shot.  I was really lazy and so I used a sample cake mix from my office.  Not the best idea since it was 1/3 the size of a normal package but stated that it was full sized.  So I ended up with two pancakes but he was happy and it tasted like a Vegas Bomb.

Vegas Bomb Cake

1 White or Yellow Cake Mix (I hate premade cake mix but I’m lazy.)

Water

3 oz Crown Royal

3 oz Peach Schnapps

3 oz Malibu Rum

1 Red Bull

2 cups Sugar, Powdered

1/2 cup Butter, room temp

 

Follow instructions for cake mix and replace half of the water with Vegas bomb liquors.  Bake and mix the remaining liquor, powdered sugar, butter and 2 Tbsp of Red Bull for frosting.

We premake our Vegas Bomb liquors and add Red Bull since we sell quite a bit of them.

  1. Red Bull icing? That’s amazing! Can you make icing out of any soft drink? Like, could I make root beer icing? Cake sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing!

    1. Sure just basically make a buttercream frosting or icing and substitute the milk with extract, flavor or soda. 🙂 I used both red bull and alcohol. Just add more sugar if you put too much.
