Ingredients
Chocolate Chip Irish Cream Pound Cake
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs, at room temperature
- ½ cup Irish Cream (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 ¼ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
Irish Cream Glaze
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Irish Cream (homemade or store-bought)
- A pinch of salt
- Green sprinkling sugar, for decorating
Instructions
Make the Pound Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a loaf pan with nonstick baking spray, and set aside.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the slightly cooled butter and sugar. Whisk until combined and smooth.
- Crack the eggs into a smaller dish, then add them into the butter/sugar mixture. Stir in the Irish Cream, as well.
- In a large glass bowl, combine the unbleached all-purpose flour, baking powder, kosher salt and chocolate chips. Whisk until combined, then set aside.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, and transfer to the oven.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven, and allow ample time to cool.
Make the Glaze
- While the pound cake cools, measure the powdered sugar into a smaller glass bowl.
- Season with a pinch of salt, then pour in the Irish Cream.
- Whisk (or whip together using a hand mixer) until smooth, and set aside.
Decorate the Cake
- When the cake has cooled completely, drizzle the glaze over it.
- Sprinkle with green sprinkling sugar (or sprinkles!).
- Cut into slices, and enjoy!
