This cake was great. It tasted so rich and it was SO good. Instead of using a cake mix, I used a chocolate cake recipe. It is really good heated up or chilled; room temperature is a little boring. When the cake is heated up it tastes exactly like a brownie sundae with mint chocolate chip ice cream!<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"11\/05\/2011 18:29","GUID":"68a61d3794df491d9f8ec0561a8e5153","MemberId":6324211,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"1275","SubmittedDate":"11\/05\/2011 18:29"},{"Comment":"

This cake is really good. Made it for my small group and everyone loved it. The green frosting is easy to make, but it does come out on the thin side. It reminded me of the candy Andes mints. If you desire more mint frosting, adjust the ingredients to make 1 and a half batches or just double it. For sure going to be making this again.<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"04\/18\/2011 22:20","GUID":"61edac8da9c5477db9ac65205da417cb","MemberId":1537566,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"beckihomecki","SubmittedDate":"04\/18\/2011 22:21"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"03\/18\/2011 18:34","GUID":"27B7DCAD09874BC2A797A40310D5D83C","MemberId":2383534,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"sarb21","SubmittedDate":"03\/18\/2011 18:34"},{"Comment":"

Not sure this recipe is written correctly. When I tried to make the green frosting layer, I got a dry, lumpy, impossible to mix mess. I had to search the internet for other recipes to try to salvage it. Should the 6 T. of butter listed with the topping ingredients should have been included with the frosting ingredients? My final product tasted fine, but the green layer was very thin and looked nothing like the photo shown.<\/p>","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"03\/12\/2011 21:57","GUID":"193e95d63630464b95bda91ad09e6e1d","MemberId":4335282,"Rating":2,"ScreenName":"dexterjc","SubmittedDate":"03\/12\/2011 21:57"},{"Comment":"

When I first made this recipie I made a big mistake by accidently using a 15-in x 13-in pan(too big!) The cake turned out too thin because of my mistake so I doubled the green mint frosting. It was delicious! Very easy and fun to make and my family loved it.<\/p>

I liked to eat it with a little mint chocolate chip icecream. Perfect!<\/p>","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"01\/15\/2011 12:23","GUID":"bf55a0eb8fc24539a7a403eee56a6379","MemberId":5764650,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"ryan mcg","SubmittedDate":"01\/15\/2011 12:23"},{"Comment":"

I have made this three times recently. After making it the first time, I have made it a point to keep all of the ingredients for this cake in the house at all times...and it's a good thing...we had unexpected company for Memorial Day and I was able to whip this up in no time. They all loved it and asked for the recipe!<\/p>","CommentId":17,"DateRated":"07\/02\/2010 13:41","GUID":"e9e0fe70fa9341f296097722542a7bf9","MemberId":3119315,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"StephanieLMonroe","SubmittedDate":"07\/02\/2010 13:41"},{"Comment":"
