CREME DE MENTHE CAKE I
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 for Making Crème de Menthe Fudge Cake
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips.
- To make the cake even more decadent, add a layer of chocolate ganache or whipped cream.
- If you don't have crème de menthe liqueur, you can use another type of mint liqueur, such as peppermint schnapps.
- The fudge frosting is very rich, so you can use less of it if you prefer.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
- To ensure the cake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
