Crème De Menthe Cupcakes (with sugar-free option)
Each February, for my husband’s his birthday, I make a crème de menthe cake for my husband. He has had this cake EVERY year since he was a kid, and his mom gave me the recipe the first year we were married. Sometimes I make it as a 9 x 13 and sometimes as a double layer round cake. Some years I make it in cupcake form. Fun!
Served cold, and with the flavors of mint and chocolate, this cake is so refreshing and delicious.
And since it starts with a cake mix, it is super simple to make.
Start with a white cake mix and add a little green food coloring and crème de menthe flavoring.
After cool, frost with hot fudge topping.
Add a little more green food coloring and crème de menthe flavoring to some cool-whip and frost again.
Refrigerate until eating. Enjoy!
Going….
Going…
Gone! Yum!
Wouldn’t these be fun for St. Patrick’s Day?
