Creme de Menthe Angel Food Dessert Cake
1 box white angel food cake mix
2 1/4 cups miniature marshmallows
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup creme de menthe extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
6-10 drops green food coloring
2 cups whipping cream
1 ounce block unsweetened chocolate
1/4 teaspoon shortening
Bake cake as directed on the package; let completely cool. Remove from pan. Split cake to make 3 layers.
tip: To split, mark side of cake with wooden picks and cut with a long, thin, serrated knife.
In a large saucepan, heat miniature marshmallows and milk together over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring often, until marshmallows are melted. Remove pan from heat. Cool mixture to room temperature for 25 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the creme de menthe extract, salt and food coloring.
In a large bowl beat the whipping cream until stiff. Fold in the marshmallow mixture. Frost each layer of the cake with filling and then use remaining filling to frost the sides of the cake.
In a small saucepan, heat the unsweetened chocolate and shortening together until melted. Drizzle melted chocolate on top of the cake and around the edges, allowing it to drip down the sides. Refrigerate cake for 2 hours before serving.
