Receta A Bit O'Irish Chocolate Pecan Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Add a photoI don't actually drink alcohol of any kind - I do however, on occasion enjoy cooking and baking with it. One of my favorites is Baily's Irish Cream - it adds a delicious richness to baked goods that leaves the taste buds humming. I don't even drink hot cocoa without a little Irish Cream flavoring. I hope you enjoy this variation on a basic chocolate cake - the pecans were added because I was in the mood for a bit of crunch with my cake.

Direcciones
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Prepare pans: 1 large bundt pan (a small one will result in overflow) or 1 9x13 metal pan or 2-10" rounds. Spray with non-fat baking spray.
- Stir together the first six ingredients; beat in eggs.
- Add remaining ingredients, EXCEPT boiling water and pecans.
- Beat on medium speed for 1 minute and high speed for 1 minute.
- Mix in the boiling water - beat on low just until combined.
- Stir in by hand, 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes depending upon oven.
- Cool on rack for at least 15 minutes; remove from pan(s) and continue to cool.
- Frost (recipe below) and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
- For the Frosting:
- Blend cream cheese and butter together until smooth; add the next three ingredients and blend well.
- Slowly add the powdered sugar, using a mixer as you add, until frosting is smooth. If you prefer a more 'whipped' consistency, then continue to beat on high speed until you reach your desired consistency.
