The first time I tried to bake a Baileys and chocolate cake I could hardly taste the Baileys. So I went back to the drawing board and found this highly recommended recipe below. It’s so moist and the alcohol is not too strong. Giving you the choice to add a Baileys with mascarpone frosting. Just a great after dinner dessert.
Plus added bonus it’s so easy to make and you could do it without an electric whisk.
