Ingredients:

  • 1-3/4 cups sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup 2% milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • filling:
  • 3 tbsp confectioners' sugar
  • 1/8 tsp peppermint extract
  • 3 to 4 drops green food coloring, optional
  • icing:
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

Directions:

  1. Line two greased 9-in. round baking pans with waxed paper. Grease and flour the paper; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in chocolate and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk and water, beating well after each addition.
  3. Pour into prepared pans. Bake at 350° for 24-28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
  4. For filling, in a small bowl, beat the cream until it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar and extract; beat until stiff peaks form. Beat in food coloring if desired. Place one cake layer on a serving plate; spread with filling. Top with second layer.
  5. For icing, in a microwave, melt chips and butter; stir until smooth. Cool slightly. Beat in evaporated milk and vanilla. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar until smooth. Frost and decorate cake. Chill 2 hours before slicing. Yield: 12 servings.
