You may already know and love Baileys Irish Cream for use in cocktails, but I’m here to let you know that it’s great for much more than just the occasional seasonal sipper. Here, I added the sweet liqueur to a chocolate-studded coffee cake, and the results are nothing short of incredible. It's the perfect way to start off St. Patrick’s Day, to make any brunch extra-special, and to guarantee you'll have a sweet snack to reach for all day long. Warning: Make it once, and you might have trouble going back to basic coffee cake.
The cake pan:
After testing this recipe, I preferred a smaller and taller cake, so I used a 9"x9" pan instead of the 13"x9" pan used in the video above. You can still use a larger pan if you prefer to have more slices, but I highly recommend using the 9"x9"—just be sure to choose a pan that is at least two inches deep to ensure the batter doesn’t overflow while baking.
Storage:
If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for around 3 days. Still have more Baileys you need to get rid of? Never fear—our Baileys chocolate cream pie and Mudslide no-churn ice cream will have you wishing you bought another bottle.

Directions
Streusel
- Step 1Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 350°. Line a 9" x 9" (at least 2”-deep) baking pan with parchment, leaving some overhanging all sides.
- Step 2In a medium bowl, whisk granulated sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Add butter and, using your hands, break butter into flour mixture until evenly distributed. Continue to mix until streusel holds together when pressed in the palm of your hand.
Cake
- Step 1In a large bowl, using a handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and baking powder until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating to blend after each addition. Add milk, sour cream, and Baileys and beat until just combined. Add flour and beat until just combined.
- Step 2Pour half of batter into prepared dish. Top with half of streusel. Top with remaining batter, then streusel.
- Step 3Bake cake, covering with foil during the last 10 to 15 minutes if edges look too dark, until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 60 to 75 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for 20 minutes. Drizzle with chocolate.
