For the Irish chocolate caramel frosting

• 1 cup Condensed milk
• 1 cup Irish cream

Directions:::
To prepare the Irish chocolate caramel frosting
In a saucepan, combine the condensed milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, Irish cream together. Place the saucepan over medium heat, cook and stir until the combination thickens. Remove from heat. Stir in the butterscotch flavor essence and leave to cool. Store at room temperature.
To prepare the Irish cream cake
Step 1: Preheat the oven to about 180 degree C (350 degree F).
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, add the eggs and whisk for about 10 minutes till the egg becomes fluffy with lots of air bubbles suspended in it. Add the flavor essence and mix a little bit more to combine, then set this aside.
Step 3: In an empty mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugar together, then mix till the combination is pale and fluffy. Add the whisked eggs and Irish cream and continue to mix till everything is properly combined.
Step 4: Gently fold in the flour a little at a time and mix till you have a smooth well combined batter.
Step 5: Prepare the pan by greasing it with a little butter or oil and dusting it with flour making sure all the inner parts of the pan is fully covered. Gently pour the cake batter into the pan and smoothen the top.
Step 6: Place the pan in the pre-heated oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Leave to cool on a wire rack before turning the cake out so it comes out in one piece.
Step 7: Once it cools, drizzle the cake with the Irish chocolate caramel frosting and sprinkle with sugar candy.
