I am a huge fan of liquor in baking and this Baileys Chocolate Coffee Cake recipe is one of my first choices. Made with a dense, moist cake batter with a layer of coffee, cocoa and granulated sugar and covered in a coffee and melted chocolate topping. If the Bailey’s doesn’t win over your heart then the coffee-chocolate combination definitely will.
To make Baileys Chocolate Coffee Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 °F and grease a 9x13-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk ½ cup of brown sugar, 1½ teaspoons of cocoa powder and ½ teaspoon of instant espresso powder until combined.
In a large bowl, beat ¾ cup of softened butter with 1 cup of granulated sugar, ⅓ cup of brown sugar and 2 teaspoons of baking powder until combined and smooth.
Beat in 3 eggs, 1 egg at a time.
Pour in ⅔ cup of sour cream, 1 cup of whole milk and ¼ cup Baileys and mix again until combined.
Gradually add 3 cups of all-purpose flour while continuously mixing until combined.
Transfer half the batter into the prepared baking dish, then sprinkle an even layer of filling over, and finally top with the remaining half of batter.
In a medium bowl, whisk ¾ cup of granulated sugar, ¾ cup of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of cocoa powder, ¾ teaspoon of espresso powder and a pinch of salt until combined.
Pour in 4 tablespoons of melted butter and stir to mix through and combine.
Evenly scatter the prepared topping over batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour or until baked and a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, drizzle melted chocolate over the cake and cool for 10-15 before slicing and serving.
