Mint Choc Chip Cake Recipe
I’ve been playing a mobile game called Baking Story recently, and the most recent level introduced some mint choc chip cupcakes! My favourite ice cream flavour… In cupcake form!? I knew I had to give them a try in real life for myself. Which you can see a snippet off in the left-hand corner, but as I had some cake mix leftover, I decided to make a mint choc chip cake as well. And I love how it turned out.
I used my heart-shaped cake pan from Lakeland and layered the cake with the mint flavoured frosting. It was delicious! I really love the mint chocolate combination; it wasn’t too overpowering and made a lovely little treat for us all to enjoy (along with the cupcakes of course). I hope to do more bakes like this in the future. Strawberry flavouring perhaps?
Mint Choc Chip Cake Recipe
I used a basic chocolate cake recipe and added the mint flavouring to it. Layered with a basic buttercream frosting filling, which was also flavoured, and then tinted green.
