Ingredients
- For the cake:
- 540g flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup Baileys
- 125ml milk
- 340g butter at room temperature
- 400g brown sugar
- 200g sugar
- 5 eggs
- For the glaze:
- 250g icing sugar
- 3 tbsps Baileys
- 3 tbsps water, plus more as needed
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 160°C. Prepare a bundt pan by spraying with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2
Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl and set aside. In a small liquid measuring cup mix Baileys and milk and set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, using a hand held electric mixer, beat butter and sugars at medium speed until fluffy-about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat well to incorporate after each addition.
Step 4
To the butter mixture, gradually add half the flour mixture then half the milk mixture. Repeat with remaining flour then milk and mix until incorporated.
Step 5
Pour batter into prepared pan then smooth batter evenly. Bake in preheated oven 1 hour and 15 to 20 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Step 6
Allow cake to cool in pan for 15 minutes. Remove cake from pan to a plate or serving dish and cool completely.
Step 7
Meanwhile make glaze by combining sugar, Baileys and 3 tablespoons of water, adding more water as needed, 1 tablespoon at a time, until smooth. Drizzle cooled cake with glaze.
