Baileys Espresso Bundt & Martinis

Baileys Bundt Cake

So for those that follow me on instagram or twitter, you’ll have noticed that I’ve been up in Scotland once again at my parent’s house over Christmas. I’ll be covering that and posting in more detail once I return, as I’ve still a few days left. In fact, right now I’m sat waiting (with my fingers crossed that their ferries won’t be cancelled due to storms. Edit: they made it!) for friends to arrive for New Years Celebrations. And that’s where the Baileys comes in.

Flat White Martini

The lovely people at Baileys sent me everything I’d need to make Baileys Flat White Martinis, and I’ve also put together for a Baileys Espresso Bundt cake (an excuse to use my new Bundt tin). They’ve got a bunch of their own recipes you could use too. Both are perfect for a New Year’s Eve Celebration. Get boozy with your baking and use the rest to have a bit of a tipple (or five). Not that I encourage overdrinking… of course… (hic).

Baileys Bundt Cake

The cake is rich, chocolatey and covered in a thick chocolate cream. You could easily make it even more indulgent and pour salted caramel over it. But hey, I’m on an island and I was lucky to have the ingredients that I had.

For the Flat White Martini:

25ml Vodka
25ml Espresso
50ml Baileys
Coffee Ice Cubes, Optional

Instructions:

  1. Place the vodka, espresso and baileys into a cocktail shaker with plenty of ice.
  2. Prepare the glass with the coffee ice cubes if using.
  3. Shake until well mixed and strain into the glass. Enjoy (responsibly).
