Description

My boyfriend made me this cake and it is now my favorite cake of all time! You are going to love this cake, it’s like having a Mint Chip Hot Fudge Sundae in a cake!

Ingredients

  • 1 box (18.25 Oz. Box) White Cake Mix
  • Additional Required Ingredients Specified In Mix Package (typically Water, Eggs And Oil)
  • ½ cups Creme De Menthe Liqueur, Divided
  • 16 ounces, fluid Mrs. Richardson's Hot Fudge
  • 16 ounces, weight Cool Whip
  • ½ cups Hershey's Shell Topping
  • ¼ cups Mini Chocolate Chips

Preparation

Make the cake mix according to package (you’ll typically need water, eggs, and oil, as directed in mix package), but when adding water to mix, substitute 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) of creme de menthe liqueur for that amount of water. For example, if you need 1-1/4 cups of water, use 1 cup water and 1/4 cup creme de menthe.

Bake cake according to instructions on the box. After it’s been baked, allow the cake to cool to room temperature.

After cake is at room temperature, warm up the Mrs. Richardson’s hot fudge in a microwave or in a saucepan over low heat and spread over the top of the cake. You don’t want it too hot, just warm enough to spread easily.

Place the cake in the fridge to chill the fudge for 2 hours.

Add the rest of the cream de menthe to the Cool Whip, adding a tablespoon at a time while folding to combine. Place the Cool Whip on top of the fudge layer.

Drizzle the hard shell topping on top of the Cool Whip and sprinkle the mini-chocolate chips on top of the cake, too. Chill for an hour or longer until ready to serve.

Enjoy!

We had it in there for about a week to a week and 1/2…as long as you cover is with plastic wrap, you should be good!

How long do you think this will live in the refrigerator (assuming one has self control)?

Ya gotta be a mint lover for this recipe and it turns out that my group is filled with mint lovers…they LOVED this cake. There were only 7 of us at our St Paddy’s celebration dinner and I went home with zero slices of my cake. That was the only negative to making the cake – none for the baker – bummer :) !

This is a good fit for someone who really likes mint chocolate chip ice cream! Easy with a high reward (I couldn’t find the hard topping stuff and I actually added a whole third of a cup of creme de menthe to my white cake and it was still good.) Now, what do I do with the leftover creme de menthe??
