OT Need advice on cake.

I have decided I'm going to make a cake for St Patrick's Day. (The
pred is running rampant)

I want to make a Baileys Irish Cream Cake. I know I'm asking for
trouble if I try to make it entirely from scratch, so I bought a milk
chocolate cake mix, some butter and a lot of powdered sugar.

I figure I can replace part of the liquid in the cake with Baileys,
and also put some in a buttercream frosting.

Anyone out there that bakes a lot?

I'm looking for guesses as to how much Baileys I should put in the
cake and in the frosting?

Jo

it doesn't like me much, Lee

Bailey's Irish Cream Cake

4 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil

Bailey's Irish Cream frosting (recipe below)

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour a 12 cup bundt pan. Sprinkle
nuts into bottom of pan. Combine remaining ingredients in large mixing
bowl. Beat four minutes on high speed, pour into pan. Bake 45 to 55
minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes
out clean. Let cake cool and invert onto plate.


Bailey's Irish Cream Frosting

1 pound powdered sugar
5 1/2 tablespoons butter, softened
1/4 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt

Just be aware that the stuff is full of sugar as well.

You may want to use a dash of irish whiskey instead of Bailey's in the cake
so you don't overload on sugar (unless of course you like that sort of
thing). With the frosting, I'd say just mix more icing sugar into the
baileys until its stiff enought spread :-)

I just had a quick google of "Bailey's cake" - that should give you an idea.

Irish cream is, IIRC, Irish whiskey, evaporated milk, sugar, vanilla &
chocolate flavouring if that helps.

It will probably be delicious if you follow the package instructions then put the Baileys in you. LOL. MLB

yes it is that is why i can't tolerate much of it, if i drink whiskey i am
allergic, i break out in fights, it is one of the few ways i can have
whiskey, and if i could drink it i would probably drink too much so i guess
its really i guess, ok, Lee

I made it for my mother-in-law last year on her birthday (she's a huge
Bailey's fan). She hates chocolate in any form, and she loved this
cake (I'm presuming you could just substitute the chocolate cake for
the yellow cake, probably chocolate pudding then as well).

One slice will do ya though, it's really rich.
