Baileys Irish Cream Mug Cake – a moist, flavorful cake that’s made in just 2 minutes. You can make it non-alcoholic using the Baileys Coffee Creamer.
Baileys Irish Cream Mug Cake
Yesterday we made Irish Cream cupcakes and today I am showcasing a similar recipe but this one is made from start to finish in 5 minutes or less. This cake is moist and delicious and you will never imagine that it came from the microwave. I soak the warm cake with more Baileys to get the 3 leches texture. Yum!
These mug cakes are alcohol-free since I made them with the Baileys coffee creamer instead of the liquor. You can choose either one depending on your mood. If it’s late at night and you’re craving a freshly baked good, then make this cake. You won’t be sorry.
I serve mine with a dollop of creamy topping and some golden sparkles to celebrate St. Patty’s Day. For this post, I un-molded the cake onto a plate, but normally I would eat inside the mug. The sensation when you dig that spoon into the baileys-soaked cake is awesome.
What I love about mug cakes is that I can whip them up at the last minute and it’ll curb my craving for sweets. Also, since you make a small batch, there are no leftovers and you’ll feel less guilty.
They also work as an instant dessert, imagine if your mother-in-law stops by unannounced. You have to clean the house quickly and also make her a treat before she starts criticizing your decor. In that case, I would give her the Bailey’s liquor and make it a Happy Hour!
If you have a mug, a few ingredients, and a microwave, you got yourself a sweet dessert. My husband and I are currently watching Season 3 of House of Cards, this Baileys Irish Cream Mug Cake will serve as the perfect snack to eat while we watch President Underwood crush everybody around him. Gotta love Netflix.
