This quick recipe uses regular cake mix, any brand, and any type of whipped topping. It is a great dessert for after dinner, or anytime and especially a treat for St. Patrick's Day (easy way to get something "green"). You can use creme de menthe flavoring if you don't have the actual liqueur.

Tips:
- Use a medium box of instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 ounces) or 1 (4-serving) package of Jell-O Instant Pudding mix. Larger size boxes will cause the batter to be too thick.
- Do not overbeat the batter. Overbeating will develop the gluten in the flour and make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will dry out the cake.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. Frosting a warm cake will cause the frosting to melt and slide off.
- Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cake for up to 3 months. Thaw the cake overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
