Mint Chip Cake Recipe
Ingredients
This delicious mint chip cake recipe is a must-try for all cake lovers. For this recipe, you’ll need:
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup boiling water
- 3/4 cup softened butter
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of buttermilk
- 2 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
- 1 cup of chopped dark or semi-sweet chocolate
- 1/2 cup of chopped mint leaves
- 3 tablespoons of melted butter
- 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup of white chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons of chopped mint leaves
Instructions
Before you start, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans with butter or baking spray.
Start by combining the cocoa powder with the boiling water. Mix until all the cocoa has dissolved and set aside.
In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Gradually add the cocoa mixture and mix until combined.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. When everything is well combined, fold in the chopped chocolate and mint leaves.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting.
While the cakes are cooling, make the frosting by combining the melted butter with the semi-sweet and white chocolate chips. Stir until everything is well combined and set aside until ready to use.
Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a cake plate. Spread the frosting over the top and sprinkle with chopped mint leaves. Place the other cake layer on top and spread the remaining frosting. Sprinkle with extra chopped mint leaves, if desired.
