It's truly the best cake! I've even made it with caramel chips instead of andes and used caramel extract instead of mint. SO GOOD. Thank you, thank you!!K.

For anyone who may have been worried about the batter being too runny, don't worry, it's fine. I almost gave up when I saw how soupy the batter was, but am thankful I didn't. Great recipe, just needed a larger frosting batch so I could be more decorative, but i probably could've added milk to bulk up the frosting, plus, like other folks mentioned, it was a bit grainy. Either way, the cake was a hit (even for ppl who don't like mint) and the moist chocolate cake with the andes, was the best part.

They're her absolute favourite biscuits, so she always looks forward to this cake. <br />It's that time of year again, so I wanted to finally thank you, and also say that the rest of this blog is just as wonderful. <br />Thank you again!JustForMusicAndLove1996https://www.blogger.com/profile/06138316249744480093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539053748693875101.post-69258738332854320042016-12-03T23:25:17.993-05:002016-12-03T23:25:17.993-05:00Do I need to refrigerate this cake if I am making ...Do I need to refrigerate this cake if I am making it 2 days early?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12247406650185401776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539053748693875101.post-198671135110967852016-07-08T10:21:31.899-04:002016-07-08T10:21:31.899-04:00Do you need 2" or 3" deep pans?Do you need 2" or 3" deep pans?Tonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17981251194182261043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539053748693875101.post-62064782689679579812016-03-11T15:12:13.121-05:002016-03-11T15:12:13.121-05:00I made this for my mom's birthday last year.

This might eliminate the sticking problem. If we replace the vanilla extract with mint in the batter u will still have the chocolate mint taste. And if the Andes on the icing between each layer is to minty, reduce the mint extract in the icing. What do you think?bakermomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17933765053535972009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539053748693875101.post-89274559803444086862015-02-19T19:22:16.776-05:002015-02-19T19:22:16.776-05:00I only have a 9'' round pan and I only wan...I only have a 9'' round pan and I only want to make one layer..
