Flavored with Irish Cream Liqueur, coffee, chocolate, and vanilla -- the ingredients that constitute Baileys Irish Cream -- this Irish cream cake is topped with rich Irish cream caramel sauce to make a delicious Mudslide of a cake. Top it with Irish-cream-infused whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate curls.
