Saint Patrick's Day Recipes

Ingredients

  • 1 (18.25 ounce) box chocolate fudge cake mix*
  • 1/4 cup creme de menthe or 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped green maraschino cherries
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons creme de menthe or 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract and 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 cup whole green maraschino cherries
  • Chocolate curls

Instructions

  1. Prepare cake mix following package directions, substituting 1/4 cup creme de menthe for 1/4 cup water. Stir in chopped cherries.
  2. Pour into 2 greased 9 inch layer cake pans; bake as directed. Cool.
  3. Whip cream with tablespoons creme de menthe. Spread 1/3 of whipped cream between cake layers. Heap remaining whipped cream on top.
  4. Arrange whole cherries and chocolate curls over whipped cream.

Notes

* 18.25 ounce boxes of cake mix have been replaced by 16.5 ounce and 15.25 ounce boxes. To compensate for the volume loss in a 16 ounce box, whisk 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour into the dry cake mix before proceeding with the recipe. To compensate for the volume loss in a 15.25 ounce box, add 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder.
