I am super excited about this cake I'm showing today. Bailey's Irish Cream Cake.
You are interested, yes? I had first tried it a couple of years ago during a family gathering at Michael's parent's house and it was delicious. Oh, and the glaze. It is amazing and now that I know the recipe it's no wonder. There's butter involved.
I'd been wanting to eat this cake again (and again and again) and I finally asked for the recipe so I could bake it up for St. Patrick's Day. It's ridiculously simple. So much in fact, that I felt I needed to add a challenge.
Inspired by the Bake it in a Cake method I decided that I should put little shamrocks in the cake. Could I do this, was it worth the effort? Um, of course.
