Reviews
I think Im going to use mint flavored chocolate chips in the topping in place of the plain milk chocolate. Ill just skip adding the extract to the topping
Love the chocolate mint taste! I used chocolate mint chips for the top layer, so I only needed the peppermint extract for the middle layer. Such an easy and delicious dessert!
This cake was a hit! In stead of making a flat cake, though, I made a two-layer cake with the mint frosting and chocolate on both layers, and there was plenty of the chocolate for both the inside layer AND to cover the outside of the cake. I will definitely make it again.
I make this dessert often for church suppers. It is always a huge hit!
It was delicious. The green frosting was thick and caused the cake to crumble so I put a tablespoon on each piece and spread it evenly with a wet spoon. The melted choc was a little thin and messy. I needed to cool it a bit before using it. Maybe that step should be first and it would be ready to spread at the end.
So easy and delicious!
This cake was great. It tasted so rich and it was SO good. Instead of using a cake mix, I used a chocolate cake recipe. It is really good heated up or chilled; room temperature is a little boring. When the cake is heated up it tastes exactly like a brownie sundae with mint chocolate chip ice cream!
This cake is really good. Made it for my small group and everyone loved it. The green frosting is easy to make, but it does come out on the thin side. It reminded me of the candy Andes mints. If you desire more mint frosting, adjust the ingredients to make 1 and a half batches or just double it. For sure going to be making this again.
Not sure this recipe is written correctly. When I tried to make the green frosting layer, I got a dry, lumpy, impossible to mix mess. I had to search the internet for other recipes to try to salvage it. Should the 6 T. of butter listed with the topping ingredients should have been included with the frosting ingredients? My final product tasted fine, but the green layer was very thin and looked nothing like the photo shown.
When I first made this recipie I made a big mistake by accidently using a 15-in x 13-in pan(too big!) The cake turned out too thin because of my mistake so I doubled the green mint frosting. It was delicious! Very easy and fun to make and my family loved it.I liked to eat it with a little mint chocolate chip icecream. Perfect!
