I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream. Summer is here and that means - ice cream season! I'm not sure why but as soon as the thermometer reaches 80 degrees, I start to crave a cool, sweet treat. (Unfortunately for my waist, I live in a state where the temperatures are above 80 for 6 months out of the year.) I have 2 favorite ice cream flavors - coconut and mint chocolate chip. I translated my coconut obsession into a cake a few weeks ago and so I figured it was time to create my other favorite ice cream flavor into cake form. Mint Chocolate Chip Cake 3 cups flour 1 1/2 Tablespoons baking powder 3/4 teaspoon salt 18 Tablespoons butter 2 teaspoons vanilla 2 teaspoon mint extract 2 1/4 cups sugar 1 1/2 cups milk 8 egg whites
Cool 10 minutes on pan and then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely. Chocolate Buttercream 8 egg whites 2 cups sugar 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar 3 cups butter 1 cup dark chocolate, melted
Repeat with remaining layers. Spread a thin layer of icing over the entire cake and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Spread remaining buttercream on cake and gently press mini chocolate chips into sides of cake. Now I've got double the mint chocolate chip temptation. It's not bad enough that I craved mint chocolate chip ice cream, now I'm going to be craving it in cake form too. (I'm in trouble.)
Ciao!
