Directions

  • 1 Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Spray bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with baking spray with flour.
  • 2 Make cake batter as directed on box, adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of the mint extract with the water. Reserve 1 cup batter. Stir 3 drops of the green food color into reserved batter; set aside. Pour remaining batter into pan.
  • 3 Drop green batter by generous tablespoonfuls randomly in 12 to 14 mounds onto batter in pan. Cut through batters with metal spatula or knife in S-shaped curves in one continuous motion. Turn pan one-fourth turn; repeat cutting for swirled design.
  • 4 Bake as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Run knife around sides of pan to loosen cake. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • 5 Carefully spread fudge topping evenly over cake. In medium bowl, stir whipped topping, remaining 1/2 teaspoon mint extract, remaining 9 drops green food color and the yellow food color until blended. Spread whipped topping mixture evenly over fudge. Garnish with candy pieces. Store covered in refrigerator.

I made this cake forgetting to take out the 1 c. Batter to make green. Basically ending up with white cake....so I poked the warm cake and then took one can sweetened condensed milk, added green food coloring and mint extract , then poured it over the cake. The results was fantastic and very moist! I will do it this way from now on!

This has been a favorite of ours...except we use Creme De Menthe (from the liquor store) and put 3 T of it in the batter, then 3 tsp of it in the whipped topping icing. And it's really pretty if you take time to make it in round layers with the chocolate between layers.
