This recipe makes a huge cake, it uses a pound of butter, sour cream, & is very moist and has lots of flavor. This in my opinion is a Million Dollar Pound cake created for my million dollar man for his special day. HE LOVED THIS AMAZINGLY TASTY CAKE. You will too, it is worth your efforts.

How to Make MILLION DOLLAR IRISH CREAM POUND CAKE
- Pour about 1/3 of original cake batter into prepared cake pan. Then top with about 1/2 of the chocolate batter,leaving enough room to add additional light colored batter on top. Then smooth top with spatula, and BE SURE TO LEAVE AT LEAST 2 INCHES FROM TOP OF PAN TO ALLOW CAKE TO RISE. Repeat with remaining cake batter using a smaller pan. I used both a 12 cup capacity Bundt Pan and a 6 cup capacity bundt pan.
- This is the 12-15 cup NORDIC WARE ANNIVERSARY PAN that I used, for the larger cake. I also used a smaller 6 cup pan shaped identical to the larger one. You can use an 18 cup capacity Nordic Ware pan to make one HUGE CAKE, OR MAKE 2 SMALLER ONES AND SHARE WITH A FRIEND OR NEIGHBOR, OR FREEZE ONE FOR LATER.
