• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 0.25 cups vegetable oil
• 3 pieces large eggs
• 0.5 cups Irish cream liqueur
• 0.25 cups hazelnut liqueur (e.g., Frangelico)
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoons Irish whiskey
• 0.5 cups toasted hazelnuts, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 8-inch round cake pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper for easier removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Using a hand or stand mixer on low speed, mix in the softened butter and vegetable oil until the mixture becomes crumbly.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step 5

Slowly pour in the Irish cream liqueur, hazelnut liqueur, whole milk, and vanilla extract while mixing on medium speed until the batter is smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Divide the cake batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in their pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

To prepare the frosting, beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until creamy.

Step 10

Gradually add in the powdered sugar, beating well until smooth and fluffy.

Step 11

Mix in the Irish whiskey for a flavorful kick, adjusting the amount to taste if desired.

Step 12

Once the cakes are completely cool, spread a layer of frosting over the top of one cake layer.

Step 13

Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the entire cake.

Step 14

Optionally, garnish with toasted hazelnuts around the edges or on top of the cake for added texture and flavor.

Step 15

Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes to allow the frosting to set before serving. Enjoy!
