Meredith made a Mint Chocolate Chip cake from Cakes by Courtney (LOCAL[@rev]). She followed the cake recipe and even the main buttercream recipe, but substituted Crème de Menthe for the mint extract (which, by the way, the amount of mint extract in the original sounds crazy). That gave it a nice flavor and a nice color. She also added two drops of teal gel food coloring and about 2 tsp. of espresso powder.
Her only note for next time is that the recipe has you set aside too much buttercream for between the layers, leaving you without enough to do a good job coating the cake. So next time, she should set aside less, make extra buttercream, or both.
It was very good! The cake was super moist, and the mint flavor was subtle but tasty. It was also very pretty, though it took a lot of work to place all of the chocolate chips.
