Who’s excited to get into the Irish spirit this weekend? THIS GIRL.

For me, getting into the spirit tends to include something special..

SPIRITS 😉

To me, Bailey’s Irish Cream is the quintessential liquor to bring out on St. Patrick’s Day.

I think it’s because my grandma used to looooooooooove the stuff and every time I think about my Irish heritage, I find myself thinking about her.

Whether it was being poured over her ice cream or she was using it to top off her after dinner coffee, I always loved to see that sneaky smile on her face as she indulged.

People who love food are the best people – isn’t that what Julia Child said?

She used to pour it into coffee or over ice cream, but I’m taking the tradition of adding Bailey’s to recipes to a whole new level… with CAKE.

Personally, I am not one to subscribe to the “I have to make everything GREEN!” for St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. Instead, I want to keep the flavors of my heritage, but Lord knows I don’t need any of that green food coloring in my life.

As much as I love having my tongue turn green, I’d really rather skip that look this year.

The magic of this cake is the texture and flavor which, you are going to find hard to believe, is 100% gluten free!

How, you ask?

Just turn your attention to the lovely Bob’s Red Mill for the answer to that…

Have you ever tried Bob’s Red Mill’s Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour?? Say goodbye to trying to convert the recipes you want to make gluten free so they work with various different flours and meal.

Now every recipe can be gluten free with this easy peasy 1-to-1 flour!

Simply use the same amount of this flour as AP flour for any baking recipe and boom, just like that you have a gluten free masterpiece without any of the heavy lifting you may be used to.

I also love this flour, because all of you who may not be gluten free can simply use Bob’s Red Mill Organic All Purpose Flour in lieu of the gluten free flour.

It’s totally a win-win, no matter what your gluten needs may be!

The cake itself is moist (yes, I still hate that word, but I have yet to find a better one…) and fluffy, while being packed with Bailey’s Irish Cream flavor and chocolate-y goodness!

It’s just the right amount of sweetness with a hint of boozy and a vanilla bean glaze to top it all off with.

A slice for breakfast, a slice for lunch and a slice for dessert – eat it anytime of day for the best sweet treat!

If you aren’t drooling by now, I don’t know what the heck is wrong with you 😉

This Recipe’s Must Haves

• Nordic Ware Pro Form Anniversary Cake Pan is very similar to the one I used for this cake (I just can’t find the original product because it’s not there anymore!).
• Le Creuset of America Craft Series Spatula Spoon = my favorite spatula/spoon utensil!
• KitchenAid 7-Quart Pro Line Stand Mixer for the perfectly mixed cake.
