Like those cupcakes, these are heavier than your usual cupcake, but tight crumbed and definitely more like cake than muffins (provided you use the cake flour). Cream cheese in the batter makes keeps them moist and works well with the Irish Cream.

It did require a little baking, but only enough to set the shortbread crust [...]
