This is a moist bundt cake made with pudding in the mix and has a sweet boiled glaze over the top similar to the classic Rum Butter Cake except this one uses Irish Cream Liqueur.

Everything about this cake is yummy, we added some chocolate chips to our batter to give this a nice addition of milk chocolate in every bite.

You don't even need to be a baker or like to bake it's that simple to make with just a few extra ingredients added to the cake mix you'll have a delicious semi-homemade Irish liqueur cake.

Sometimes we even tint the batter green for St. Paddy's Day!

Although any kind of pan can be used to bake this wonderful flavored cake, we usually use a bundt pan, but no worries use whatever you have.
