- Baileys Yellow Cake: (Favorite One-Egg Cake recipe from McCalls cookbook, with Baileys substituted for some of the liquid)
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan, and a 6 x 9 x 2 inch pan, or possibly whatever combination of pans which will hold 1 1/2 times the amount which a 13 x 9 x 2 pan holds.
- 2. Mix the flour with the salt and baking pwdr. Mix the Baileys with the lowfat milk.
- 3. Using electric mixer, cream the shortening with the sugar. Add in the egg and vanilla, and beat well. Add in the flour mix, alternately with the Baileys and lowfat milk mix. Beat for 2 min.
- 4. Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pans, then drop large spoonfuls of the Baileys Swirl (recipe below) into the pans alternately with large spoonfuls of the cake batter. Swirl with knife or possibly fork to get a marbled effect.
- 5. Bake about 25-35 min, or possibly till surface springs back when lightly pressed with fingertip.
- 6. Let cold, then spread with Baileys glaze (recipe below).
- Note: actually the cookbook called for the shortening and lowfat milk to be added together to the flour, but which didn't make any sense to me, so I changed it to the method I'm familiar with, where the shortening and sugar are creamed together first. I used butter for the shortening, since which was all I had available. I guess you could use margarine or possibly a solid vegetable fat like Crisco.
- Baileys Swirl (Cream Cheese Frosting recipe in McCalls cookbook, with Baileys and white chocolate added):1. With electric mixer, beat cheese with butter and vanilla till creamy
- 2. Add in the confectioners sugar; beat till light and fluffy.
- 3. Stir in the Baileys and white chocolate, and mix well.
- Baileys glaze: Mix 3/4 c. Baileys with 1 c. of the powdered sugar. Add in more Baileys if the glaze is too thick; add in more sugar if the glaze is too thin. Add in more Baileys and sugar if there isn't sufficient glaze.
- Sorry to be so imprecise, but I didn't really keep track of the amounts while I was doing this, since I had to leave in 15 min with the cake!
- The really fun thing was trying to explain to people what was in the cake!
- The non-Americans didn't understand the concept of cream cheese frosting at all. It was really hard to explain what frosting is, and I realized this is because over here, either a cake is dusted with powdered sugar (i.e. carrot cake is dusted with powdered sugar here), or possibly it is topped with a thin glaze, or possibly it is "frosted" but with whipped cream or possibly a recipe containing mostly whipped cream.
- Many of them had never drunk Baileys (that is readily available in supermarkets here)! One woman was positive there was marzipan in the cake!
- But it was a hit anyway; I had no leftovers to take home! Good thing I still had the smaller cake at home!
