Description
A moist chocolate cake soaked with a Baileys Irish Cream glaze and topped with whipped cream.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup Baileys Irish Cream liqueur (for soaking)
- 1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream liqueur (for glaze)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Prepare the cake mix according to package directions, substituting the required water with 1 cup of water. Mix in the vegetable oil and eggs.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven. While the cake is still warm, use the handle of a wooden spoon or a large fork to poke holes all over the top, about 1 inch apart.
- In a small bowl, mix the 1/2 cup Baileys Irish Cream liqueur with the 1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream liqueur and pour this mixture slowly over the entire top of the warm cake, allowing it to soak into the holes. Let the cake cool completely.
- Prepare the glaze: Whisk together the 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream liqueur until smooth. Drizzle this glaze over the cooled cake.
- Prepare the topping: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the cake.
- Chill the cake for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can substitute milk for the water in the cake mix if you prefer a richer flavor.
- For an extra chocolate flavor, you can fold 1/2 cup of chocolate chips into the batter before baking.
