Recipe Description
This Irish chocolate cake is both decadent and addictive with layers of moist chocolate cake adorned with Baileys buttercream frosting.
Not a traditional Gaelic recipe from times of yore, you understand, so what makes this cake Irish? The butter – real Irish butter and lots of it! This is a ‘pull on your comfy yoga pants and don’t try your jeans for at least week’ sort of cake! This is a ‘I’ve been good this week and I deserve a slice’ cake. You get the picture.
