This cake is my new favorite Saint Patrick's Day tradition...a rich chocolate cake with a hint of Irish Cream and a delicious chocolate glaze. Not only is it super easy to make, but it results in a decadent dessert that will easily have you wanting another slice. ☘️
While I'm all for the excuse to make this cake year round, I think that it is best when it is served on the day of all things shamrock, corned beef, and green. Plus, it's the perfect way to add a sophisticated touch to your Saint Patrick's Day festivities.
In addition to its rich flavor, one of my favorite things about this cake is its simplicity. While layer cakes hold a special place in my heart, bundt cakes are a great way to create a beautiful dessert with a little less effort. This cake is dense enough to hold the bundt's shape, yet delicate and rich enough to still taste delicious.
As long as you follow the directions by prepping your pan properly, baking the cake as directed, and letting it cool a little before turning it out, you'll have a gorgeous result that just needs to be drizzled in its chocolate glaze before being served.
The chocolate glaze is also super simple and only requires two ingredients. I chose dark chocolate to contrast the sweetness of the cake, and I let the glaze cool slightly so that its consistency would be just right. I used a piping bag to help control the glaze's drips, but you can also use a spoon or a measuring cup with a spout. Depending on how much glaze you use, you'll most likely have a little leftover which is a bonus in itself!
