Would not make this again.
I swapped some of the ingredients based on what i had on hand.. instead of regular baileys i used the coffee flavor they recently came out with, and i used devil's food cake mix. I also made cupcakes not a cake. I think these 3 rather impo changes could be to blame for me not LOVING this recipe. i'm still going to eat them.. after frosting lightly with buttercream frosting and sprinkling some crushed peppermint candies on top. . . its very moist, and dense but i think that also led to my cupcakes not having that nice bump on top...

This recipe has become a holiday favorite! Not only is this a great cake that friends and family enjoy, we have given this cake as gifts to our physicians and their staff at Christmas time. It tastes great and is very easy to make!

This cake is WONDERFUL!! It was so moist and delicious, and best of all, SO easy! It is awesome with a cream cheese frosting too; just substitute the 2 TBSP of Bailey's in for some of the milk... Great recipe, I'll continue to make this crowd pleaser for all occasions!
