Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients alternately with the buttermilk.
-
Fold in the mashed bananas and Baileys Irish Cream.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
-
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In the meantime, prepare the Baileys Swiss Meringue Buttercream.
-
In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg whites and sugar.
-
Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water and heat, whisking constantly, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture reaches 160°F (71°C).
-
Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment.
-
Beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form and the mixture has cooled to room temperature.
-
Gradually add the butter, a few tablespoons at a time, beating well after each addition.
-
Once all the butter has been incorporated, beat in the Baileys Irish Cream.
-
To assemble the cake, place one layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of Baileys Swiss Meringue Buttercream on top.
-
Place the second layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining Baileys Swiss Meringue Buttercream.
-
Let the cake rest for at least 1 hour before serving. Enjoy!
