I am making this as I review it.... the cake itself did not rise as well as I thought it would.. and the filling is very thin... I measured it exactly the way the recipe read and the filling if very runny... I have added more icing sugar and it is now setting in the fridge to see if it will thicken up a bit. If it doesn't then I will just keep adding icing sugar until it does... I'm surprised because every other review did not mention this problem. I also added a couple more drops of food colouring as it was not very green ( for St. Paddy's Day)

This was fantastic! I used oil instead of shortening and added some extra mint extract. My mom is a real mint lover, so I made it for her birthday. It was a huge success!

Over-all this was a very good desert. The only thing that I'd change is to use 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract, instead of 1 1/2. The cake itself didn't have much taste.

Was excited about making this for Christmas dinner but was a little disappointed with the result. There wasn't enough of the chocolate frosting and the mint cool whip just okay on the cake.

I doubled the chocolate filling/topping because there wasn't enough. The frosting wasn't minty enough for me, so I added some extra mint extract. Overall, I thought it was pretty good and my husband liked it too.

This cake is delicious! I made it and took it to the office, and my co-workers loved it. It's a perfect holiday cake because of the minty green cool whip. I doubled the amount of the mint cool whip, frosted the entire cake with it, and sprinkled Holly Berry holiday sprinkles on it. If you like mint chocolate chip ice cream, you'll love this cake. One note, if you want to put the chocolate on the top of the cake (as in the picture here), I would make more of the chocolate filling. I thought the amount suggested in the recipe was just enough to put in between the layers.
