A heavenly combination of chocolate, pistachios and Irish cream! This unique and delicious chocolate cake was inspired by one of my favorite chocolate truffles. The buttercream is made with pistachio butter, Irish cream and cream cheese. Then the cake is soaked with more Irish cream to give the cake even more flavor!
The chocolate cake layers I use for this cake are moist and rich in flavor. I’ve used the same versatile recipe for many recipes.

- 1/4 cup butter, softened at room temperature
