Irish Cream Coffee Pound Cake Recipes

Steps:

• 1. This recipe was baked in 2 (9 cup) capacity Bundt Pans, they are called Stained Glass Pan. I ordered them from WILLIAM & SONOMA, BUT I AM SURE YOU CAN FIND THEM IN OTHER STORES AND PLACES AS WELL. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Otherwise use a 12 -15 cup capacity Bundt pan if not using two pans.
• 2. This is what the inside of the cake pan looks like, and I used BAKERS JOY, TO SPRAY THE PAN WITH INSTEAD OF BUTTER & FLOUR, AS SUGGESTED IN THE ORIGINAL RECIPE. I WANTED TO REACH ALL OF THE NOOKS AND CRANNIES IN THE PAN. Note Bakers Joy has flour in the baking spray.
• 3. Add coffee & water to a small bowl and microwave till very hot or boiling. Set aside to cool. When cooled add the vanilla bean paste or extract, & amaretto, stir to blend. Then add the Irish Cream liqueur, and stir to blend. set aside till needed.
• 4. Add butter to mixer and beat for about 3 minutes till creamy. The original recipe was from this book.
• 5. Now add sour cream and beat an additional 3 minutes till blended.
• 6. Add sugar about a third at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat until mixture is creamy and smooth and there are no visible sugar granules in mixture. About 8 to 10 minutes.
• 7. Break all 6 eggs into a medium size bowl, check to make sure there are no egg shells. Now add eggs one at a time to creamed mixture, beating well after each addition.
• 8. Now add flour to creamed mixture about a third at a time, and alternate with the liquid mixture, until all of each has been added.
• 9. Prepare cake pan with butter and dust with flour, if not using bakers joy. Pour batter into cake pan or pans and bake in preheated 300 degree F. oven, and bake for approximately 1 hour & 40 minutes if using one pan or less time if baking in 2 smaller pans. With 2 pans check after 1 hour 20 minutes, by inserting toothpick into center of cake to see if it comes out clean. If it is clean the cake should be done. If not return to oven and check every 5 minutes or so.
• 10. Remove from oven allow to sit in pan 10 minutes then invert onto rack or cake platter to cool completely. Drizzle glaze over cake while still warm if desired. I allowed mine to cool completely so the glaze would stick to the cake.
• 11. To prepare the glaze, add coffee granules & water to a small bowl and heat till hot in microwave, then add the liqueur and sifted powdered sugar, and whisk till blended. DRIZZLE OVER CAKE AS DESIRED.
• 12. SLICE AND SERVE WITH YOUR FAVORITE COFFEE OR TEA.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray, then dust with flour.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on medium speed until incorporated, about 30 seconds each. Scrape down the sides of the bowl after each addition.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the mixture to the bowl of the stand mixer and mix on low until incorporated, about 30 seconds. Add the Irish cream and mix on low to combine, 15 seconds more.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread in an even layer. Bake until the surface of the cake is lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the thickest part comes out clean, 55 to 65 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then unmold onto a wire rack to cool completely.
• Make the glaze: Whisk the powdered sugar and Irish cream together in a medium bowl to form a thick glaze. Spoon the glaze over the surface of the loaf, letting the excess drip down the sides. Let the glaze set for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt® pan.
• Mix together coffee and espresso powder in a small bowl or measuring cup until dissolved. Set aside.
• Mix together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl until combined.
• Cream together butter, cream cheese, white sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until smooth and fluffy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add coffee-espresso mixture and vanilla and mix until combined. Add 1/2 of the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Pour in Irish cream and mix until combined. Add remaining flour mixture and mix until just combined. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
• Pour batter evenly into the prepared pan. Tap pan gently on the counter a few times to disperse any air bubbles.
• Place pan into the preheated oven and bake until the top of the cake springs back lightly when touched, 55 to 60 minutes. Allow cake to cool for 15 minutes in the pan before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• 1. Prepare a 10 to 14 cup bundt pan. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add 1 tablespoon of flour and mix to make a paste.
• 2. Paint a layer of the mixture with a pastry brush to the inside of the bundt pan. Set aside. (Your cake will release with ease.)
• 3. In a large mixing bowl, on medium, cream butter and sugars together until fluffy; about 5 minutes.
• 4. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each.
• 5. On low speed, add the flour and salt. Mix until combined.
• 6. Add the Irish cream and the vanilla.
• 7. Mix again.
• 8. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spread the batter into bundt pan. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Every oven is different, so check with a toothpick. It's done when the toothpick comes out moist, but mostly clean.
• 9. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and place on a rack to cool completely.
• 10. FOR THE CARAMEL GLAZE: In a saucepan, combine all the ingredients except the powdered sugar. Heat on low until the sugar is melted.
• 11. Turn the heat to medium and bring to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• 12. Remove from heat and pour into a heat-proof bowl. Whisk in the powdered sugar. As it cools it will thicken.
• 13. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake. Enjoy!
