- Spray a 9X13 inch cake pan with non-stick baking spray and set aside.
- Add the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder and salt to a large bowl and whisk until combined, or add to the bowl of a stand mixer and whisk on low.
- In another medium bowl combine Baileys Irish Cream, vegetable oil, vanilla extract and eggs and whisk until fully combined.
