Today's cake

today we are making an andes mint cake.

Get ready to be tempted:

chocolate cake, 4 layers, they all have andes mint baking chips stirred in.
filling is chocolate pudding with, you guessed it, andes mint chips stirred in
All stacked up, following along?
Then instead of sugary frosting...
chocolate ganache poured over the top.

whole thing goes in the fridge, it's served cold.

garnish with a few andes mint candies if you are so inclined. Go ahead and stick them on when the ganache is still warm and soft.

notes: I used cake mix (cheater!!), two mixes will fill 2 8inch pans to the 3/4 point (can't go much over that or you will get ugly cake) AND make 9 cupcakes. It's good to make 9 cupcakes because you can eat them without cutting into your cake.


photos later, cakes are in the oven right now.
