CREME DE MENTHE LAYER CAKE RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:
- Prepare a white cake mix as directed on package except replace 1/4 cup of the water with 1/4 cup of Creme De Menthe. If Creme De Menthe is not green add 2 or 3 drops of green food coloring to the batter. If your Creme De Menthe is green then you would not need the food coloring. If you don't want to use Creme De Menthe, make the cake as directed on the package and in addition add a teaspoon of mint extract to the batter with 2 or 3 drops of green food coloring. The alcohol does bake off so it's safe for little ones. Prepare either 2 (8 or 9-inch) round cake pans that will yield 2 layers, or 1 (9x13-inch) rectangular cake. Optional: add mini chocolate morsels to the batter just prior to putting in the oven and lightly swirl in. Bake according to package directions, and let cool. FROSTING: Place the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally, until the chips are completely melted. Off the heat, add the corn syrup, and vanilla, then allow the chocolate mixture to cool to room temperature. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the chocolate mixture and softened butter on medium speed for a few minutes, until it's thickened. Spread the frosting evenly between the layers of the cake as well as on the top of the cake. Let it set in the refrigerator. WHIPPED CREAM FROSTING: Mix the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar, creme de menthe (if using), and food coloring. Continue whipping the cream until it is thick. Spread evenly on top of the entire cake. Garnish with chocolate sprinkles, more mini chocolate chips, or chocolate curls if you'd like. CHOCOLATE CURLS: To make the chocolate curls melt 3 squares of semi-sweet chocolate with 1 tablespoon of shortening. Spread the melted chocolate on a cookie sheet in a very thin, very, very thin layer on a cookie sheet. Pop it in the freezer for a couple minutes and then use a spatula to make the curls, by slowly scraping pieces of the chocolate off of the pan so that they curl. If the chocolate is too cold it will not curl so just give it a couple seconds. NOTES: Keep your finished cake in the refrigerator when not serving. The frosting and the whipped cream frosting can be made up to 2 or 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. The finished cake can be made up to 5 hours in advance and kept in the refrigerator until ready to serve. This cake should not be left out for longer than 30 to 45 minutes.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start baking, gather all of your ingredients and equipment and measure out all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling last minute.
- Use room temperature ingredients: This will help your cake batter mix together more smoothly and evenly. If you're using butter, let it soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes before you start baking.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make your cake tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no more.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help ensure that the cake bakes evenly. Preheat your oven for at least 10 minutes before you put the cake in.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cake.
- Use a toothpick to test if the cake is done: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If it comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake for a few more minutes.
Conclusion:
Heather's Crème de Menthe Cake is a delicious and festive cake that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the frosting is smooth and creamy. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this cake at home. Just follow the recipe carefully and you'll be sure to impress your friends and family with your baking skills.
