Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup Irish cream liqueur such as Baileys®
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Irish cream liqueur such as Baileys®
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons milk

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease and line an 8x4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together sugar and melted butter in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in eggs until fully combined. Stir in Irish cream liqueur and vanilla.
  3. Fold in flour, baking powder, and salt just until combined; do not overmix. Stir in chocolate chips. Spread batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
  4. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.
  5. Cool loaf in the pan for 15 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
  6. Prepare the frosting: Combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, Irish cream liqueur, and salt in a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until smooth, adding milk as needed to make a spreading consistency. Spread frosting over the cooled loaf. Slice and serve.
