That's Creme de Menthe Cake Grasshopper!

We are in the midst of the "Too Much Rain and Heat" season in Central New York.  That said, it is time for a refreshing and easy dessert for Wild and Wacky Wednesday Dinner with the Boiz.  Enter Creme de Menthe Cake made from a cake mix.  Actually, I am making two, one for the Grasshoppers and one for a company pot luck lunch.

Ingredients:
1 white cake mix
3 eggs
1/4 cup oil
mint extract
1 cup (plus 3 tablespoons for frosting) Creme de Menthe
whipped topping
hot fudge ice cream topping
*I doubled recipe as I made two cakes, this is the recipe for one cake.


 

Mix dry cake mix, eggs, oil, 1 cup creme de menthe.

Pour into greased cake pans, 9x13.  Bake @350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes until done.  Remember, I doubled above recipe as I made two Creme de Menthe cakes.

Cool cake slightly.While cake still warm, frost with hot fudge topping so cold topping spreads easily..



Add 1 teaspoon mint extract to whipped topping and 3 tablespoons Creme de Menthe.  Frost cake over hot fudge layer and refrigerate overnight.  Creme de Menthe Cake must be kept refrigerated.
