Choclate Mint Cake





The summer that I discovered how much I enjoyed not only cooking fun foods but doing cakes to – this cake was the first. It started with me finding a chocolate mint recipe that made my think of my friend Lisa so I made it for her birthday. From there this cake has won awards for best tasting and has been used just about every Christmas. It is Chocolate Devils Food cake layered with mint cream between the layers. The entire cake is then iced with chocolate icing and toped with shaved Andes Mints. Another twist on this cake is a layered torte dessert with chocolate ganache drizzled on top with Mint shavings.
