Ingredients for Bailey S Irish Cream Cake

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • Cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Egg
  • Oil
  • Buttermilk
  • Irish Cream
  • Strong Black Coffee
  • Heavy Whipping Cream

How to Make Bailey S Irish Cream Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the Bailey's Irish Cream.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and Bailey's Irish Cream, beating until light and fluffy.
  8. Once the cake is completely cool, frost it with the Bailey's Irish Cream frosting.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
