Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper for easy removal.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Gently fold in the chopped Andes mints into the batter, reserving some for garnish.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once the cakes have cooled, prepare the mint frosting by creaming together softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Mix in mint extract for a refreshing flavor that complements the Andes mints.
-
Place one cake layer on a serving platter and spread a generous amount of mint frosting on top.
-
Carefully place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
-
Garnish with the reserved chopped Andes mints for an extra burst of minty goodness.
-
Slice and enjoy this delectable Cake Using Andes Mints with your loved ones.
