How to Make Layered Irish Cream Cake
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan.
- **Make the cake batter:** In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ¼ cup Baileys Irish Cream.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. If the batter is too thick, add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the consistency of a basic cake batter.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- **Make the Baileys filling:** In a medium bowl, beat ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter until smooth. Gradually add ¼ cup powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream, beating until light and fluffy.
- **Make the chocolate ganache frosting:** In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips and 4 tablespoons unsalted butter in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons milk and 2 tablespoons light corn syrup until the frosting is smooth and glossy.
- Once the cake is completely cool, carefully slice it horizontally into two layers.
- Spread the Baileys filling evenly over the bottom layer. Top with the second cake layer and frost the entire cake with the chocolate ganache.
