Irish Eyes Godiva Cake

GinaCucina's Note:

Perfect for St. Patrick's day or even Christmas time. Light green color sets the mood for your holiday party. This cake is incredibly moist too. I created this cake for an Irish dinner party and I didn't want to use the usual Bailey's Irish Cream for the dessert.

Very nice Bundt cake! I had to sub regular Godiva liqueur for the white chocolate version because that's what I had. I also left out the nut topping -- I had some chopped pecans set aside for this, but I forgot to put them in the pan first and didn't think it made sense to add them to what would be the bottom of the cake. I think the glaze would've been a bit more attractive with the white chocolate liqueur, but that was my own fault for not having the right liqueur. The flavor was lovely, though. Thanks for posting! Made for PAC Spring 2012
