In a large bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, and oil. Beat at
medium speed of an electric mixer, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary.
Beat in liqueur. Spoon into a greased 10-inch bundt or tube pan. Bake in a
preheated moderate oven (350 degrees F) for about 50 minutes, or until a
cake tester inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. Cool in
pan for 10 minutes, then turn out into a wire rack to finish cooling. Turn
bundt cake upside-down and tube cake, right side up or upside down as
desired. Sift confectioners' sugar over top of cake or drizzle Bailey's
Irish Cream Glaze over top and down sides of cake. Or, frost cake with
Bailey's Irish Cream Frosting.
