Irish Cream Chocolate Cake

I love changing recipes that already exist or creating new ones and I'm not really afraid of taking some risks, specially when I decide to bake something new to me for a special occasion. I follow my instinct most of the times and they ususally prove right. This was the case. I wanted to celebrate my birthday with an easy recipe that would nevertheless taste super delicious and I've hit the jackpot with this one  - a moist, insanely rich and deliciously decadent chocolate cake made with buttermilk , cocoa powder, a hint of Irish cream, dulche de leite and  topped with a homemade, irresistible fudgy layer of "brigadeiro" frosting that’s a true winner.
