Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
½ cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
Green food coloring (optional)
Chocolate chips for garnish
Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla, and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin). Pour into prepared pans.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks. Cool completely.
For the frosting, beat butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, heavy cream, and peppermint extract, beating until light and fluffy. If desired, add a few drops of green food coloring to reach desired color.
Assemble the cake by spreading frosting between the layers, then over the top and sides. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and garnish with mint leaves before serving.
