Yes, this post is slightly behind in timing, but, hey, look at the bright side, and it’s 355 days EARLY!
This year, I made my first St Patrick’s Day cake! Keeping with the Irish in me, I created an Irish Car Bomb Cake . . . an exact duplicate of my Irish Car Bomb cupcake, but in GIANT form!
I can honestly say I have never had an Irish Car Bomb . . . the thought of one makes me want to vomit. Curdling cream?? SICK! But, throw some sugar and flour into the mix and you get a delicious cake creation.
For the cake, I made two Guinness Chocolate 6″ rounds, filled between them with Whiskey Ganache, and covered the whole thing with Bailey’s buttercream. Mmmmmm.
Having made this cake so many times, I am absolutely starting to love the smell of Guinness. It brings me back to the time my family and I went to Dublin, and toured the Guinness Brewery! At 10:00 in the morning, when our tour was over, we all got a fresh, free, Guinness! It was my first Guinness that I had ever had . . . and it was my last!
