A Chocolate Mint Affair

This was just one of the cakes I baked for my sons Birthday. It was simple. He is crazy about green like literally everything has got to be green . Its a small double layered Marble Cake with chocolate frosting all over then added the kit-kats allover then just poured the chocolate mint M&M'S all over it and did his name JAY with the candy :)

Here are some of the Pictures of the Procedure....

Here are the Ingredients .

Ingredients:

1. 2 Cups all Purpose Flour
2. 2 teaspoons baking powder
3. 1 teaspoon baking soda
4. 1/2 teaspoon salt
5. 11/2 cups sugar
6. 2 eggs
7. 1 cup of milk
8. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
9. 1/2 cup butter
10. 2 spoons cocoa powder (unsweetened)

 Decorating:

•   For this part i simply used Betty Crocker Milk chocolate Frosting  , Mint M&M'S and Kit-kats.

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F . Grease a 9 inch round pan.
2. Place flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla, and milk into mixing bowl. Beat slowly to soften, then beat with an electric mixer at medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth or in my case i just prefer to use a whisk which may take longer but its gives you similar results. Reserve 3/4 cup batter; pour the remainder into pan.
3. Stir cocoa into the 3/4 cup reserved batter. Drop a little like a spoonfull over top of white batter, using a knife or fork swirl it around to your satisfaction.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes.
5. To Ensure its done use a toothpick or knife and poke the middle part and if it comes out clean its done.

Its quite easy and quick, I get all my recipes online then add on a twist to it .

Enjoy!
