A Touch of the Irish

Share via

“Last Christmas, 1986, I learned that Baileys Original Irish Cream was popular among many people,” writes Priscilla A. Vinci. “I tried baking a cake with this liqueur and it became a hit. I experimented with my first liqueur cake and put it on the table at work where no one knew who baked it. My co-workers, who were my guinea pigs, ate the cake and then asked: ‘Who made the cake?’ They loved it.”

IRISH CREAM CAKE

1 (18.25-ounce) package yellow cake mix

1 (4-ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix

3/4 cup oil

1/4 cup water
