HAPPY ST PATTY'S DAY!

Fresh out of the oven.
Freshly glazed!

Mmmmmmmm.....


Katie HAD to eat some! And then she took half of the entire cake home!




Hubby wants an "Irish" dinner tonight. So I am off to the store to get everything to make corned beef, cabbage and red potatoes. I was just online trying to find an "Irish" dessert and have settled on an Irish Cream Bundt Cake. Here is the recipe....

IRISH CREAM BUNDT CAKE

1 cup chopped pecans
1 yellow cake mix
1 (3.4oz) instant vanilla pudding
4 eggs
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup Irish Cream liqueur
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup water
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup Irish Cream

Preheat oven to 325*. Grease and flour 10 inch bundt pan. Sprinkle nuts over bottom of pan.

In large bowl combine cake mix and pudding. Mix in eggs, 1/4 cup water, oil and 3/4 cup Irish cream. Beat at high speed for 5 minutes. Pour over nuts in pan.

Bake for 60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool on rack in the pan for 10 minutes. Invert onto serving dish. Prick top and sides of cake. Spoon glaze over top and brush onto sides. Allow cake to absorb glaze and then repeat until all glaze is used.

To make glaze: In sauce pan, combine butter, 1/4 cup water, sugar. Bring to boil and and continue boiling for 5 minutes stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of Irish Cream.

I will post a picture when it is done!!!

That looks delish Barb! We don't go all out, or even half out, on St. Patty's Day.... Maybe it's the German in us taking over LMAO!

I hope you and hubby and everyone else who reads this has a great day, whether or not they celebrate :)

Lets just say that I am not that thrilled about the corned beef and cabbage that has been cooking all day! Hubby was the one who wanted it. When he gets home we are putting on the movie The Quiet Man and eating Irish! LOL!
