Baileys Poke Cake Recipe
Description
The recipe starts with a standard chocolate cake mix prepared and baked in a greased 9x13 pan. After cooling to room temperature, holes are poked throughout the cake to allow absorption of a filling made from sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, unsweetened cocoa powder, and Baileys Irish Cream. The filling soaks into the cake, infusing it with moistness and the characteristic Baileys flavor.
After chilling for one to two hours, the cake receives a frosting made by mixing room-temperature butter with powdered sugar, Baileys, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and fluffy. This frosting is spread on top of the cake to complete the dessert, providing a rich chocolate and Irish cream combination.
This layered poke cake blends ready-made cake convenience with a distinctive liqueur flavor. It can be decorated or garnished as preferred and served chilled or at room temperature.
