Notes

For an extra touch of elegance, consider garnishing with crushed hazelnuts or edible gold flakes. Store your Baileys Cream Cake in the fridge, covered for up to 3 days; avoid freezing as the cream may separate. Let the cake come to room temperature before serving to enhance its flavors. Using room-temperature eggs helps with separation and volume, and don't rush the chilling process; patience is key!
