class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A little bit of everything goes into preparing this beautiful mint chocolate cake!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The dry ingredients<\/strong>: A pretty good list of dry ingredients today, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, white sugar, brown sugar, powdered sugar, baking soda, and lastly baking powder. Most of which you&#8217;ll likely have on hand already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The wet ingredients<\/strong>: Room temperature eggs and vegetable oil are going to help boost the fat in this cake and keep is extra moist. Hot coffee or water is another fun one to add. If you choose coffee, it will greatly enhance the flavors of the chocolate without tasting like coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The dairy<\/strong>: Room temperature ingredients are best used in baking because they help to bring all of the ingredients together in a smooth mixture. Room-temperature butter, heavy cream, and milk are what we will be needing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The flavors<\/strong>: We&#8217;re going to be using a mint extract to really pack in that minty flavor, along with vanilla and salt to balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The fun extras!<\/strong>: The bits and pieces that really make this cake pop are all of the fun extras we get to add. Green food coloring, chocolate shavings, and white chocolate are going to make this cake extra playful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-35690\" src=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Grinch-Cake2108-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Mint chocolate cake ingredients\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-pin-title=\"Grinch Mint Chocolate Cake\" data-pin-description=\"This chocolate cake is a holiday showstopper.

Spray the bottoms and sides of three 8-inch cake pans with non-stick baking spray. If desired, line with parchment paper as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the sugar, eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Beat on medium-low to combine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In another bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Turning the mixer back on to medium-low, alternate adding the hot coffee (or water) and dry mixture in small increments. Be sure to scrape the sides down a few times throughout the mixing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once smooth and well-mixed, divide the batter into the 3 prepared pans. Bake for 20-23 minutes or until cooked through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After about 5-10 minutes of being out of the oven, turn the layers out onto a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"35694\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-35694\" src=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Grinch-Cake2117-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"wet ingredients mixed in a stand mixer bowl\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-title=\"Grinch Mint Chocolate Cake\" data-pin-description=\"This chocolate cake is a holiday showstopper.

If you\u2019re starting with a white chocolate bar, chop it into small pieces until they\u2019re about the size of chocolate chips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a saucepan over medium-high heat, warm heavy whipping cream until it just starts to boil. Look for small bubbles forming around the edge and a soft boil starting in the middle. When you see that it\u2019s just starting to boil, pour it over the white chocolate and let sit for about 30 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whisk it together until it\u2019s uniform in consistency and there are no bits of chocolate left on your whisk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Color the ganache by adding in green food coloring until you\u2019ve achieved your desired \u201cgrinch-ey\u201d green. Alternatively, the colors blue and yellow can be used to achieve the same result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cool the ganache at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes, or until the ganache itself is room temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"35698\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-35698\" src=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Grinch-Cake5200-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"melted chocolate in a small bowl\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-title=\"Grinch Mint Chocolate Cake\" data-pin-description=\"This chocolate cake is a holiday showstopper.

The texture of this mint chocolate cake is finicky, frosting can be runny and patience is always required. But, don\u2019t fret just yet! I\u2019ve got a few tricks up my sleeve to make this much easier for you folks at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-chill-the-cake\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chill_The_Cake\"><\/span>Chill The Cake<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider baking the cake layers the day before frosting and allowing them time to properly chill. The cold makes for fewer crumbs and therefore, a smoother layer of frosting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once baked and out of the pan, leave the cake out to come to room temperature. Then, wrap the layers in plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-a-knife-to-level-the-top\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_A_Knife_To_Level_The_Top\"><\/span>Use A Knife To Level The Top<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your cake has come out of the oven with a domed top I would suggest giving it a trim. Flat cakes make for easier stacking and a more visually appealing result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a long serrated knife to carefully slice the rounded tops off each layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-crumb-coat\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Crumb_Coat\"><\/span>Crumb Coat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After having chilled your layers, apply a thin, even layer of frosting to the top and side of the cake. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes then, proceed with the final beautifully smooth layer of frosting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-35692\" src=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Grinch-Cake0315-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A large slice of cake on a plate with a fork\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-pin-title=\"Grinch Mint Chocolate Cake\" data-pin-description=\"This chocolate cake is a holiday showstopper.
