Irish Cream Bundt Cake
This Irish Cream Bundt Cake is my favorite super easy cake to make for St. Patrick’s Day, but honestly I enjoy eating it all year long! It’s one of those “jazzed up cake mix” kind of recipes, but don’t let that worry you. It doesn’t taste anything at all like a cake mix cake. It’s so much better. I know there are cake mix nay-sayers out there. If you’re one of them, you seriously need to give this cake a chance. I’ve gotten so many positive comments about this Irish Cream Bundt Cake recipe over the years. It’s a favorite!
What kind of pan do you need for this Irish Cream Bundt Cake?
You can most definitely use any kind of bundt pan for this recipe. This is just the one I like the best!
See how beautiful it turns out with such a clean mold? I love the swirls so much! Pecans are scattered into the bottom of the pan so they pop up all over the top of the cake after baking. I love how neat it looks with all of the clean lines. Leave out the pecans if you’re not a nut person, or if anyone you’re serving it to has nut allergies. This Irish Cream Bundt Cake will be just as good without nuts as it is with them.
Baileys Irish Cream Bundt Cake
The magic goodie that makes this bundt cake so good is Baileys Irish Cream liqueur. Baileys is mixed in to the cake batter to give it delicious flavor. And Baileys is also mixed in with the sweet, buttery glaze to give it a nice, sugary crust. It looks so pretty with the glaze brushed on. They say that alcohol disappears during the baking process, so you don’t need to worry about that. But since the glaze isn’t cooked off (just brushed on after), there will definitely be alcohol in the glaze. Consider that when serving to children or to people who may be struggling with an alcohol addiction. I don’t think it has a significant amount of alcohol in the glaze, so I’m comfortable letting my teenager eat this cake.
If you use this particular pan, it’s so easy to brush it on in several layers and you turn the cake around and around. It just soaks into the cake and travels easily down each of the grooves and clean lines.
This Baileys Irish Cream Bundt Cake recipe turns out such a moist and tender cake. It’s so easy to make. And everyone loves the flavor too!
