That is what I am dreaming of. Perfect for morning, noon, or night.
With my cup of hot coffee or glass of milk. Perfection.

Looks like a wonderful dense pound cake. I LOVE a little Irish Cream now and then 🙂
What a delicious looking pound cake! Love the Irish Cream and chocolate chip combination.
Oh my goodness! I love that firm, dense crumb. This cake looks so delicious–with a beautiful studding of yummy chocolate. I’m seriously debating dropping everything I’m doing and going into the kitchen to make this. Looks seriously delicious!
That’s a perfect pound cake! A little Irish creme never hurt anyone… only helps if you ask me!
This looks wonderful! Your photos are great!
Great pictures! The cake looks delicious!
St. Patrick’s Day is coming up! This would be perfect for breakfast that day. 🙂
What a beautiful cake, perfect for St Patty’s Day!
What a terrific looking cake. You’re right, it would be good for breakfast too. Yum! Thanks for the great photo. ;o}
I don’t think Mr. Noodle will mind one bit if I snag his bottle of Bailey’s for this purpose. Fantastic!
Wish I’d seen this one before the weekend–my grandma LOVED Bailey’s, so much so that we buried her with an open bottle (not that she overindulged, I just realized how that sounded). We also all shared a few mini bottles at the service. It would have fit perfectly.
This pound cake looks so yummy! Irish Cream and Chocolate…what a wonderful combination! 🙂
Mmmm, I’m going to go to bed dreaming of that with a tall glass of icy cold milk!

Irish Cream , chocolate chips in this gorgeous poundcake!! I so KNOW what Im bringing to the St Paddys Dayparty. It Looks GORGEOUS, and I just know it’s DELICIOOUS, just know it!
Oh, that’s inspiring! My husband’s birthday is on St. Patrick’s Day and he threatened to just ask for pound cake for his birthday cake when I was asking him what he wanted…maybe he should get just that!
This looks delicious-so moist and yummy! Perfect to enjoy in the morning with my coffee.
Yes, yes, with a nice cup of coffee first thing at 5:30 a.m.
Mamma mia che bello !! Love
Irish cream and chocolate, what a delicious combination. I could go for a piece of that cake and a glass of milk. Yummy!!!!
That looks wonderful! How comforting!
This reminds me that I need to buy more cake flour. It does make such a nicer cake. I saw on Tastespotting that someone had made their own Irish Cream, can you imagine! This cake looks great and I really like the chocolate chips in there too!
Robin Sue! That person who made the Irish Cream was my friend Jessie from The Hungry Mouse! http://www.thehungrymouse.com/home/2009/02/27/homemade-irish-cream/
Ohhhh my goodness! Really and truly it made my mouth water.
The cake looks wonderful!!
That looks GREAT!!!
Yum I love Irish Cream anything!
You are so speaking my language here! How awesome is this!
How delicious! I wish I had a piece to go with my afternoon tea. YUMMMMYY!!
Just how do you do it? Everything you make always looks so good!
I can just all most taste this through the screen. What a great cake!
Looks fantastic! I have used Irish Cream in Brownies and love it. I am going to make this cake soon……love different pound cake variations.
I adore pound cake and this one looks super buttery. Fat free cream cheese? I love the stuff but almost seems unnecessary what with all the butter, although it certainly can’t hurt! Is it actually preferred to regular cream cheese in the recipe or is that just to lighten it up?
Irish cream and desserts were meant to be bff4e. It’s just a fact! Nice idea to put it in a dense, buttery cake with chocolate. The chocolate is the key. 🙂 We just did a chocolate mint cake with Bailey’s, and it was a wonder! Bailey’s needs a bakery.
Shelby, This looks so moist! I will have to try this. And with Irish Cream….mmmmmm!!
The “REAL Donna” says,
This looks like a lovely low calorie version of a rich pound cake. So great for a little indulgence. I guess I will make this for my husband on St. Patrick’s Day! Thanks for the recipe~ 🙂
So moist and tasty, yet only 7 points – love it!
