Ricotta is lower in fat and can be blended for a similar texture.

Prepare a bundt pan by greasing it and adding chopped pecans to the bottom.

In a mixing bowl, combine yellow cake mix and dry instant vanilla pudding.

Add Irish cream to the cake mix and pudding mixture and stir until combined.

Pour the cake batter over the chopped pecans in the bundt pan.

Bake the cake according to the package instructions for the yellow cake mix.

Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and poke it a few times with a fork.

Prepare a quick glaze to pour over the cake while it is still warm.

Pour the glaze over the cake so that it soaks in.

Flip the cake out onto a platter and spoon more glaze on top.
