Ingredients

  • For the cake layer

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 1 cup flour

  • 1/2 cup butter

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 16 ounce can chocolate syrup

  • 4 eggs, beaten

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • For the mint layer

  • 2 cups 10x powdered sugar

  • 3 tablespoons creme de menthe, or mint extract to taste

  • 1/2 cup butter

  • For the ganache

  • 6 ounces chocolate chips

  • 6 tablespoons butter, softened

Directions

  • Mix all of the cake ingredients together. Pour into a 9 x 13 pan.  Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Don’t overbake! Cool completely in pan.
  • Mix mint layer ingredients together. Spread evenly over cold cake.
  • Combine ganache ingredients and melt together. I usually do this in the microwave in 25 second increments until melted. Don’t overcook. Cool well and spread over mint layer. 
  • Chill 5 to 10 minutes.  Cut into squares. Enjoy!

Notes

  • The key to distinct layers is cooling thoroughly between steps. Don’t rush!
  • Freezes well.
