How to Make Irish Eyes Godiva Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan. Sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts on the bottom.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Then, increase speed to medium-high and beat for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Stir in 1 cup buttermilk and 1/2 cup melted white chocolate (Godiva recommended).
  8. Gently fold in 2-3 drops of green food coloring until desired shade is achieved.
  9. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and tap gently on the counter to release any large air bubbles.
  10. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. While the cake cools, prepare the glaze (see glaze recipe below).
  13. Once the cake is completely cool, poke holes gently all over with a skewer.
  14. Slowly pour the glaze over the cake, allowing it to be fully absorbed.
  15. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy! This cake tastes even better the next day.
