Who doesn't love mint? Its jaw dropping good :) of course thats just my opinion. I came across this recipe in Edinburgh and couldn't wait to get stuck in. Of course our local shops in Ireland don't exactly have everything so I had to swap a few bits.
Ingredients
Oil or melted butter for greasing
150g plain flour
2 tbsp cocoa
1 tbsp baking powder
175g unsalted butter softened
6oz caster sugar
3 eggs beaten
1 tbsp milk
1 mint aero bar crushed
140g chocolate spread
2 mint crisp bars crushed & frozen
Some melting chocolate
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Grease two 8 inch sandwiche tins and line with baking paper. ( I used 9 inch but sssssh)
2. Sift the flour, cocoa and baking powder into a bowl and beat in the butter, sugar and eggs. Mix until smooth. Add in frozen mint crisp bars and stir in milk.
3.Spread the mixture into the baking tins. Bake for 25 to 30 min until risen and firm. Turn out onto a rack to cool.
4. Sandwiche the 2 cakes together with chocolate spread. I used Panda :).
5. Sprinkle crushed mint aero over the top and drizzle melted chocolate over it.
I was pleasantly surprised with how it turned out and boy was it tasty! Very simple to make too :)
