How to Make Coffee And Mint Cream Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ground almonds, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the coffee, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the buttercream frosting:
  10. In a large bowl, beat the butter until light and fluffy.
  11. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until smooth.
  12. Stir in the crème de menthe extract and green food coloring (if using) until desired color is achieved.
  13. Once the cakes are completely cool, level the tops if necessary.
  14. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and frost the top with half of the buttercream.
  15. Top with the second cake layer and frost the entire cake with the remaining buttercream.
  16. Decorate as desired and enjoy your Coffee and Mint Cream Cake!
