Servings: 12

Ingredients

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
Whipped cream (2 cups)
Mini chocolate chips (1 cup)
Green food coloring (a few drops, optional)
Mint extract (1 teaspoon)
Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
Milk (1 cup)
Eggs (3 large)
Granulated sugar (1 1/2 cups)
Unsalted butter (1/2 cup, softened)
Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
Baking powder (2 teaspoons)
Cocoa powder (1/2 cup)
All-purpose flour (2 cups)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Mix well and set aside.
In another large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until it becomes light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Stir in the milk, vanilla extract, mint extract, and green food coloring (if using). Mix until well combined.
Gradually blend in the dry ingredients with the wet mixture, stirring just until the batter is smooth.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips, dispersing them evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the whipped cream evenly over the top. Garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving.
Enjoy the refreshing flavors of this Mint Chocolate Chip Cake!
