Tips:

  • Before beginning, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. This promotes even mixing and a smooth batter.
  • To achieve a light and fluffy texture, sift the flour before measuring. This removes any lumps and incorporates air.
  • Creaming the butter and sugar thoroughly is crucial for a smooth and creamy cake. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This prevents the batter from curdling.
  • Fold in the dry ingredients gently until just combined. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
  • Line the cake pans with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
  • Bake the cakes in a preheated oven to ensure even cooking.
  • Allow the cakes to cool completely before assembling the layer cake. This helps prevent the frosting from becoming runny.
  • For a smooth and even frosting, beat the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy before adding the Irish cream liqueur and powdered sugar.
  • Chill the frosting for at least 30 minutes before assembling the cake. This helps it set and hold its shape.
