Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s heating up, I like to start by melting the butter in a large mixing bowl. It’s amazing how quickly the butter transforms into a gooey, luscious liquid. Once melted, I whisk in the sugar until it’s well combined. You can already start to smell the sweetness wafting up! Next, I add in the eggs—mixing one at a time—along with the vanilla extract and Baileys Irish Cream. The addition of Baileys really adds an extra touch of luxury!
