Irish Cream Cake

If you're looking for a showstopper cake for St. Paddy's Day, this Irish cream cake is it. The Irish cream adds this wonderful depth and slight boozy flavor that makes it feel special, while the chocolate chips provide little bursts of sweetness in every bite. That final glaze really takes it over the top - it's the kind of cake that makes people ask for seconds.

Ingredients:

For the cake:

1 box white cake mix

1/2 cup vegetable oil 

4 whole eggs

1 cup Irish Cream

1 package (12 oz) mini chocolate chips

For the glaze:

1/2 cup Irish Cream

1 cup powdered sugar

 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan

In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, oil, eggs and 1 1/2 cups of Irish Cream. Beat on medium high for about 2 minutes. Fold in half of the chocolate chips. 

Pour into a prepared bundt pan. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top. Bake for 35-45 minutes.

While cake is baking, in a small bowl add the 1/2 cup of Irish Cream and the powdered sugar and mix with a wire whisk until combined.

As soon as you take the cake from the oven, poke holes in the surface of the cake with a bamboo skewer. Pour the glaze over the hot cake. Allow it to cool completely before removing from the pan.
