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.

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?

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!
