My niece made this for a gathering I attended and I loved it. It is a very light, creamy dessert. It does need to made at least a day ahead of time so allow for that in your preparation. (The mints called for are sold under the name of "Melt Away Mints" at Hickory Farms but you can get them other places as well. There is a photo of them in the photo section of this recipe.)

Tips:

Choose the right ingredients. Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for heavy cream with at least 35% butterfat, semisweet chocolate with at least 60% cacao, and fresh mint leaves.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix only until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can result in a dry, crumbly cake.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
Be creative with the frosting. You can use any type of frosting you like, such as buttercream, chocolate ganache, or whipped cream. You can also add flavorings, such as mint extract or chocolate chips, to the frosting.

This fluffy mint dessert is a delightful treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its light and airy texture and refreshing mint flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
