3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon mace
1/2 cup butter, softened

In large bowl, combine butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Beat 2 minutes on medium speed (batter may appear curdled) On lowest speed, blend in flour alternately with sour cream and liqueur. Turn 1/3 batter into prepared pan. Cover with 1/2 streusel filling, and additional 1/3 batter and remaining streusel. Top with remaining batter.

Serves 8-10

Streusel Filling

Mix 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/3 cup chopped pecans, 1/4 teaspoon each of cinnamon and mace.

Glaze

Combine 3/4 cup sifted powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons softened butter and 1 tablespoon liqueur; beat until smooth. Spoon over lukewarm cake.

Coffee Cream Cake
(This makes a nice little cake..however it doesn't get rid of much of the liqueur..lol)Perhaps experiment with replacing the 3 tablespoons water/coffee mixture with the irish cream??

5 eggs -- room temperature
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon instant coffee powder
3 tablespoons water -- boiling
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup all purpose flour -- sifted
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups whipping cream
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup coffee -- very strong cold
2 tablespoons coffee liqueur
walnut; chopped -- toasted
chocolate coffee beans

Preheat oven to 350~. Separate eggs. Combine egg yolks and 1 cup sugar in large bowl and beat until thick and lemon colored, about 5 minutes. Dissolve coffee powder in boiling water. Blend in vanilla and dissolved coffee powder. Combine flour and baking powder and blend into batter. Beat egg whites until stiff. Fold into batter. Turn into ungreased 10" tube pan. Bake 30 minutes. Invert onto rack and let stand until completely cool. For frosting: Whip cream with 2 tablespoons sugar until soft peaks form. Add coffee and liqueur and beat until stiff. Slice cake crosswise into thirds. Use about 1/3 of cream frosting to fill layers and remainder to frost entire cake (save some frosting and pipe rosettes over top for garnish, if desired). Chill until whipped cream is slightly firm. Press nuts onto sides of cake and arrange coffee beans atop rosettes, if desired. Chill 4 hours before serving.
