Cake and Toppings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Cake

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth (the batter will be thin).

  5. 5

    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

  7. 7

    Prepare the Whipped Cream

    In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the Chambord liqueur and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.

  8. 8

    Assemble the Dessert

    Place one layer of cake on a serving plate. Drizzle half of the Bailey’s Irish Cream over the cake layer.

  9. 9

    Spread half of the whipped cream over the soaked cake layer. Place the second cake layer on top.

  10. 10

    Drizzle the remaining Bailey’s Irish Cream over the top layer and finish with the remaining whipped cream.

  11. 11

    Drizzle chocolate syrup over the top before serving.
