Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 5 pieces Eggs (large)
- 0.5 cup Irish cream liqueur
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (for chocolate chips coating)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a standard 10-inch bundt pan thoroughly, making sure all nooks and crannies are coated.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Mix in the vanilla extract and Irish cream liqueur until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three batches, mixing on low speed after each addition until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
In a small bowl, toss the chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of flour to coat. This helps to prevent the chocolate chips from sinking while baking.
Gently fold the flour-coated chocolate chips into the batter using a spatula, making sure they are evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 70-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack and let it cool completely before serving.
Optionally, dust the cake with powdered sugar or drizzle with a glaze made of powdered sugar and Irish cream for extra sweetness. Enjoy!
