I am not a big drinker but one thing you will always see in my refrigerator is a bottle or two of Baileys Irish cream. This recipe is inspired by an Irish cream and Coffee stacked birthday cake which I baked for a friend. It turned out to be the perfect pairing and I thought it will be a great idea to infuse both flavours into one cake.

If you are a lover of coffee , then be sure to enjoy this boozy cake. Glaze it with a coffee and baileys syrup and you are in for a real treat.

  It is to espresso what Taster's Choice or other instant coffees are to drop coffee. It is espresso powder is stronger than regular instant coffee.

  Hi Sue, DMC the bartender answered your question. You can as well use instant coffee in place of espresso powder.

  Hi Gail, vanilla paste is concentrated vanilla. You can use whatever vanilla extract you have.
