Tuesdays At The Table - Irish Cream Cake

Um...how in the world is it just days away from Christmas?!?! I have gotten some fabulous Christmas cards from people. Cute, funny, sweet, pup-filled. A great variety! If your card to me got returned - I'm sorry! My mailman apparently doesn't like doing his job, and has been randomly returning mail as "undeliverable". *Sigh*
This week I'm sharing my mom's (Bailey's) Irish Cream Cake. Soooo good! I don't know where she got the recipe...but if you recognize the recipe, let me know so I can give the right person credit. :-)

Bailey's Irish Cream Cake

1 cup chopped nuts
1 package yellow cake mix
1 package vanilla instant pudding
4 eggs
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup Irish Cream liqueur

Glaze
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup water
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup Irish Cream liqueur

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Grease and flour your pans.  Sprinkle your chopped nuts across the bottom of your pans.

In a large bowl, combine the cake mix and pudding mixes.Mix in eggs, water, oil and Irish cream & mix on high for 5 minutes (the batter will be nice and fluffy).  Pour batter over nuts and bake for 1 hour. 

Cool for 5-10 minutes, then invert on a serving dish.  Prick top and sides.  Spoon glaze on top and brush on sides of cake.  Allow cake to absorb moisture, then repeat until all glaze used.

Glaze - In a saucepan combine butter, water and sugar.  Bring to a boil and cook, stirring contantly for 5 minutes.  Remove from heat & stir in Bailey's.
