Instructions
Make the Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a loaf pan with nonstick baking spray, and set aside. You may also line it with parchment paper to help lift the cake out of the pan.
- Combine the slightly cooled butter and sugar in a medium bowl. Whisk until combined and smooth.
- Crack the eggs into a smaller dish, then add them into the butter/sugar mixture. Measure in the vanilla extract and give them a stir.
- Pour in the Irish Cream and stir to combine.
- Combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder and kosher salt in a separate bowl. Whisk to combine.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until the batter begins to come together.
- Add the chocolate chips to the batter, and stir until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, and transfer to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven, and allow ample time to cool before glazing.
Make the Glaze
- While the pound cake cools, measure the powdered sugar into a smaller 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 chocolate shavings, green sprinkling sugar or sprinkles.
- Cut into slices, and enjoy!
