How to Make Cooling Creme De Menthe Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) white cake mix, 1 cup water, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 3 large eggs, and 1/2 cup crème de menthe liqueur. Mix according to cake mix instructions (usually with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined).
  3. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. While the cake is cooling, prepare the fudge topping according to package directions (if using store-bought). If the topping is thick, you may microwave it in short intervals until it is spreadable.
  6. Once the cake is completely cool, spread the warm fudge topping evenly over the top.
  7. In a medium bowl, gently fold 3 tablespoons of crème de menthe liqueur into 1 (8 ounce) container of thawed Cool Whip.
  8. Frost the cake with the crème de menthe Cool Whip mixture.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the frosting to set.
