This indulgent cake features unsalted butter, sugar, eggs, flour, Irish cream liqueur (like Baileys), instant coffee, and vanilla. The rich glaze combines butter, sugar and more Irish cream, while an optional drizzle uses powdered sugar and additional liqueur.
Learn how to cook Irish Cream Bundt Cake by first creaming butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then alternating dry ingredients with Irish cream-infused wet ingredients. Bake in a well-greased bundt tin at 165°C for about 55 minutes. The magic happens when you soak the warm cake with Irish cream glaze, allowing it to penetrate for that signature moist texture.
Yes! Substitute the Irish cream liqueur with a non-alcoholic Irish cream syrup, or make your own alcohol-free version using heavy cream, instant coffee, vanilla extract, and a touch of almond extract. The cake will retain its rich flavour profile without the alcohol content.
Bundt cakes often stick because of inadequate pan preparation. Use a pastry brush to apply melted butter to every crevice, then dust thoroughly with flour. Alternatively, try a baking spray with flour. Always allow the cake to cool for exactly 10 minutes before turning out.
For a more pronounced Irish cream flavour, add 1-2 teaspoons of espresso powder instead of instant coffee, and increase the Irish cream in the glaze by 2 tablespoons. You can also brush the cooled cake with a tablespoon of pure Irish whiskey before applying the final drizzle.
