Instructions
- Cake:
- Pre-heat oven to 325°
- Prepare a 10 cup bundt pan with cake goop or baking spray with flour.
- In a medium bowl, measure the flour, baking powder, and salt, whisking to blend together. Set aside.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Irish Cream, Buttermilk, and water. Make sure all of these are room temperature to avoid curdling or thickening. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, stopping to scrape the bowl, 3 – 4 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, blending well after each addition.
- Add the vanilla, and blend well.
- Turn the stand mixer down to low, and alternate adding 1/3 of the dry mixture, and then carefully add 1/2 of the wet mixture, ending with the dry mixture. Mixing only enough until the dry mixture disapears.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and place into the middle of the pre-heated oven.
- Bake for 50 minutes, and then turn the pan 180°, and continue baking for about 20 – 25 minutes, until the cake has an internal temperature of 200°.
- Remove from oven, and place on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes.
- While it’s cooling, mix 1/4 cup of milk with 2 tbsp of Irish Cream Liqueur and brush the exposed cake with 1/2 of the milk/irish cream mixture.
- Invert cake onto the wire rack, and then brush the top with the rest of the milk/irish cream mixture. Set aside and let cool completely.
- After the cake is completely cooled, measure the powdered sugar and salt into a medium bowl.
- In a measuring cup or small bowl, add the Irish Cream, water, vanilla extract and melted butter and whisk together (if the butter starts to solidify, microwave for a few seconds until it’s melted again.
- Pour the Irish cream mixture into the powdered sugar, and mix with a spatula until smooth.
- Frost the cooled cake immediately, and garnish it with mini chocolate chips.
