Creme de Menthe Cake



I didn't add quite as much creme de menthe to the frosting this time, so it wasn't as green.  If you use too much creme de menthe, it tastes a little TOO minty.  To make it more green, next time I might add a few drops of food coloring.  I topped it with mini chocolate chips which was easy and pretty!

This cake is AMAZING.  If you like mint and chocolate, you will absolutely love it. 

Creme de Menthe Cake

1 package white cake mix

eggs/water/oil according to cake mix directions

2 8 oz jars hot fudge topping

1 8 oz tub Cool Whip, thawed

7 Tbsp GREEN creme de menthe, divided

Mix cake according to package directions, adding 3 Tbps of green creme de menthe. Creme de menthe comes in clear and green varieties. Be sure to choose the green kind to tint the cake a lovely light green color. Don't worry about separating the eggs to keep the white cake white, since you will be coloring it green anyway.

Pour batter into a glass 9 x 13 pan. Bake according to the package directions. Cool completely.

Top the cooled cake with both jars of hot fudge topping. Spread evenly across the cake.

Mix Cool Whip with 4 Tbsp creme de menthe. Mix gently, but mix well. Cool Whip will gradually turn a light green color. Spread evenly over hot fudge layer.

Top cake with chocolate shavings or sprinkles, if desired. Chill cake and serve cold.
