I really like your blog because of the photos! They all look good and they are all so clear! Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year!
Oh MY, I just took a taste of my freshly baked cake and the deliciousness is rediculous! So tender and the tiny chocolate chips are just the right amount for the cake! I can't quite taste the Irish Cream, but I am guessing it will develop over the next couple days, since you mentioned it gets better with time...Great Recipe, can't wait for my hubby to try it tonight! Thanks!
I'm a little late to the party, but this looks super!
