This Irish Cream Bundt Cake is my favorite super easy cake to make for St. Patrick’s Day, but honestly I enjoy eating it all year long!  It’s one of those “jazzed up cake mix” kind of recipes, but don’t let that worry you.  It doesn’t taste anything at all like a cake mix cake.  It’s so much better.

Irish Cream Bundt Cake in a bundt pan

This cake is made in a bundt pan.  I really must recommend this particular bundt pan to you because it’s a solid, perfect bundt pan that has very clean lines and it pops out bundt cakes perfectly every single time.  I’ve never, ever had a problem with any kind of sticking when using this pan to bake bundt cakes.  It’s the Nordic Ware Platinum Collection Heritage Bundt Pan (Amazon affiliate link).  You’ll be so happy with this pan!

See how beautiful it turns out with such a clean mold?  I love the swirls so much!  Pecans are scattered into the bottom of the pan so they pop up all over the top of the cake after baking.

Baileys Irish Cream Bundt Cake

The magic goodie that makes this bundt cake so good is Baileys Irish Cream liqueur.  Baileys is mixed in to the cake batter to give it delicious flavor.  And Baileys is also mixed in with the sweet, buttery glaze to give it a nice, sugary crust.  It looks so pretty with the glaze brushed on.  And if you use this particular pan, it’s so easy to brush it on in several layers and you turn the cake around and around.  It just soaks into the cake and travels easily down each of the grooves.
