I made this for a pool party as a birthday cake for a friend. I was a little concerned as I made it because all of the pudding mixture didn’t go down into the cake. Quite a bit of the pudding stayed on top and I wasn’t sure if that was how it was supposed to be or how it would frost. Well, the frosting went on like a charm and the cake was a HUGE hit. Everyone loved it, including ME – and I don’t like mint! I got several requests for the recipe, and my friend who hosted the party kept some of the cake for later. I will definitely make this moist, delicious cake many times! -
I made this for a co-worker's birthday. I don't think anyone disliked it, but it didn't get eaten very well. I think part of it was that it didn't look very pretty. The pudding part was sort of messy looking. I would also have liked to doctor up the cake mix a little. The taste was nice though. -
I made this for my boss for his birthday since he loves peppermint patties. He loved it! It was very good and moist. Everyone that ate it enjoyed it! -
I love anything with chocolate and mint, especially "Peppermint Patty" candy. This cake tastes just like the candy, so cool and refreshing, I could probably eat half of it right now. It's perfect for this time of year, summertime. And did I mention I'm a huge fan of "poke cakes", I've dedicated a whole cookbook to just those cakes. Thanks for a great recipe, will make again. -
This was great. So simple to put together. I used mint instead of peppermint extract because dd loves mint and chocolate but not peppermint and chocolate. It turned out wonderfully. I'm planning on making this again to take to my mom's. The really cool thing is that I keep all of the ingredients in my pantry so I can make it again anytime! :D
