Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 3/4 cups cake flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
3 large eggs
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
Mint Whipped Cream
Chocolate curls
Fresh mint sprigs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour three 9-inch-diameter cake pans with 1 1/2-inch-high sides. Line bottom of pans with parchment paper.
  • Sift first 5 ingredients into medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat sugar and butter in large bowl until well blended. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla. Add dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk in 3 additions each, beating until well blended. Divide batter equally among prepared pans (generous 2 cups for each); smooth top of batter.
  • Bake cakes until tester inserted into center comes out with some moist crumbs still attached, about 25 minutes. Cool cakes in pans on racks 15 minutes. Turn cakes out onto racks; peel off paper. Cool completely. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; store at room temperature.)
  • Place 1 cake layer on platter. Spread 1 1/4 cups Mint Whipped Cream over. Top with second cake layer. Spread 1 1/4 cups Mint Whipped Cream over. Top with third cake layer. Spread remaining Mint Whipped Cream over top and sides of cake. Refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to 6 hours. Pile chocolate curls atop center of cake.
  • Garnish with mint sprigs.

This cake was a bit too minty for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think I'll try making it again with less mint extract next time.

This cake was a bit of a disappointment. The chocolate cake was dry, and the mint frosting was too runny. I don't think I'll be making this cake again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The frosting was too runny, and the cake was a bit dry.

This cake is a great way to use up leftover chocolate chips. I also added a few drops of peppermint extract to the frosting, which gave it a nice minty flavor.

Overall, I thought this cake was just okay. It wasn't as moist as I was hoping for, and the mint flavor was a bit overpowering.

The cake was easy to make, but the frosting was a bit too runny. I had to add more powdered sugar to get it to the right consistency.
