Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1/4 teaspoon mint extract
  • Green food coloring
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • Chocolate shavings or chips for decoration

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to dry ingredients and mix until combined.
  4. Stir in the boiling water and mint extract; the batter will be thin.
  5. Pour the batter into prepared cake pans.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes in pans before transferring to wire racks.
  7. Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  8. Place one layer on a serving plate, spread whipped cream on top, and add green food coloring.
  9. Stack the second layer on top and frost with remaining whipped cream.
  10. Decorate with chocolate shavings or chips before serving.

Notes

Make sure eggs and milk are at room temperature for a smoother batter. For a stronger mint flavor, increase the mint extract slightly.
