Submitted by Marz7215

"I got this recipe from April 2007 Cooking Light magazine. It was a category finalist (desserts) and was submitted by Anna Ginsberg of Austin, TX. It produces a very light bundt cake infused with Irish cream, and it isn't as fattening as many cakes out there!"

The aroma of Baileys Irish Cream, aaah. The cake also tastes of the Irish Cream. Very nice. It is a dense yet light cake, easy to make and with a wonderful result. Just a little note to myself for the next time I make this. 10 tablespoons butter equals about 110grams. I am very pleased to have found this. Thanks for posting.

We quartered the recipe and made it in a small loaf pan since it was three of us. Boy was that a mistake! We couldn't wait for it to cool completely, and it was gone in under 5 minutes! Powdered sugar definitely completes to this dessert. Thanks Marz, for a keeper recipe!
