creme de menthe fudge cake
(3 ratings)
Great Cake for the Holiday's. It has a mild mint flavor, this one is always a hit at any function. I have even converted this into cupcakes..you have to do a few different steps in order to make them..but oh man..they are worth it. I have made this cake a dozen times, next time I will be sure to post a picture. Picture borrowed from cookbook.
