Oh....my.....goodness! This cake is the best! I made it for a co-worker's birthday and it was pretty simple since everything is from a box or jar and it tastes like a million bucks! The only alterations I used were that I used chocolate cake mix and I used hot fudge instead of chocolate syrup. After I "frosted" the cake w/ the whipped topping, I made some designs on the top with chocolate syrup and then put broken pieces of Andes Candies on top. It looked great. Everyone loved it. I want to try it w/ the white cake mix sometime too.

Not a crumb was left! I used an organic chocolate cake mix & whipped cream.

I made nine of these for an Irish night my husband was planning. It was perfect and received many compliments. I made it using French vanilla cake mixes. I also made my own chocolate syrup (to save money)This had just the right amount of creme de menthe taste for my liking. This was ebjoyed by all. Thanks for posting and reviews that gave me the confidence to use this recipe without testing it first. Many thanks.

I really enjoy making this cake around Christmas time. I usually drizzle some chocolate sauce on the top of the whipped topping and add crushed Ande's mints to the top. It is so pretty.

My mom passed this same recipe down to me. Whenever I make it, there is never any left over. It's so easy to make and tastes so good.

Great recipe for St. Patrick's luncheon. I was heavy handed on the chocolate syrup, didn't hear any complaints! Don't know if I'd bother buying creme de menthe when I can use peppermint extract and green food coloring. Thanks for sharing!

very good! Made it with Choc. Cake and Hot fudge. Probably would have been more festive for St. Patties Day if made with white cake. Didn't like it frozen, however.

This was excellent - I definitely think adding hot fudge was a great idea. I added a few drops of green food coloring to the Cool Whip for St. Patrick's Day. We all loved this! For some reason, my cake stuck to the pan a lot, so you might want to go heavy on the Crisco when you grease your pan.... Thanks for a GREAT recipe!

So easy, and one of the best cakes I have ever eaten! I used chocolate fudge cake. The recipe called for 1 1/3 cups water, so I substituted 1/3c Creme de Menthe for the 1/3c water. Used a jar of Hersheys hot fudge topping, didn't change anything else. Very hard to stick with "one small piece" when you make this cake!

I made this recipe for my kids last year for St Patrick's day & they loved it! I lost my recipe & had to relocate it on Allrecipes. Can't wait to make it again! My husband & I liked it too, we aren't big on mint cake. Very moist & light. This will go in my recipe book. Thanks!

To tell you the truth, I have never made this cake using white cake mix! Being the chocolate lover that I am I always make it with a homemade chocolate cake recipe I have. (I'm sure a boxed choc. would be fine) Last time we made cupcakes and wow...were they good! I use hot fudge as other reviewers have suggested.

Wonderful! I actually made it twice in one week! Made the first with the syrup, as I had that on hand, and the next one with hot fudge topping. Personally I liked the syrup, but my friends preferred the hot fudge topping. Either way it was great. Tastes like a Thin Mint cookie, but in a cake!

Awesome cake!! I made it for St. Patrick's Day and it not only looked festive but it tasted great. My husband said "Wow - this is one of the best desserts you've ever made"! Thanks, Bonnie! P.S. I did follow others' advice and used warmed-up hot fudge instead of chocolate syrup.

I make this cake quite often, just a little differently. I follow the directions for the white cake mix and add 1/4 cup creme de menthe syrup to the cake instead of liqueur. I also add 2 tbls. cdm syrup to the whipped topping. I use hot fudge topping and spread it on the cake and put the whipped topping on top of that. This is my favorite cake, but I have never tried chocolate which I think I will do next time.

Following the recipe with the white cake and syrup I wasn't impressed, so have to give it a 3 star rating that way. However, following other reviews I used a chocolate cake with hot fudge ice cream topping (Hershey's)instead of chocolate syrup, and this was much better. The guys I made it for, (using chocolate cake and fudge) loved it. If you want to make the "Baptist" version use Peppermint extract instead. BTW, for those worried about the alcohol, it dissipates with heating leaving only the flavor, and you can always use peppermint extract for the topping if you are worried about children.
