Steps:
- For the Chocolate CakePreheat oven to 350 degrees Grease and flour THREE 8 inch cake pans In a mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients: sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk for 1 minute to blend. Add softened butter a few pieces at a time while the mixer is on low speed. Mix until the dry ingredients look like coarse sand and the dry ingredients are moistened. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl. In a separate bowl whisk the eggs, milk , oil and vanilla until blended. Method is important when using the Reverse Creaming Method. With the mixer on low speed, SLOWLY add approximately 1/2 of the egg mixture to the dry ingredients. Increase the speed to medium and mix for 1 1/2 minutes at medium speed. Don't mix above medium speed. Scrape the bottom and sides of bowl. Add the remaining egg mixture in 2 pourings, beating for 20 seconds after each pour. Scrape the sides and bottom of bowl. Slowly add the cup of hot coffee and mix another 30 seconds until blended. The batter will be very runny. Don't worry! Pour into 3 prepared 8" pans and bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until the center of the cake springs back to the touch and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool the cakes 10 minutes on a rack and then turn out of the pans. *Yields approx 9 cups of batter. For the Mint Buttercream FrostingCream the softened butter until smooth. Blend in the peppermint. Add half of the powdered sugar and most of the milk. Beat at medium speed until the powdered sugar is incorporated. Add remaining powdered sugar, milk, coloring gel, and mix at medium speed another 3 to 4 minutes scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally. The texture will become very smooth. For the GanachePlace your chocolate into a microwave safe bowl. Pour heavy cream over the chocolate and place in the microwave for 1 minute. (Times may vary, see our note below). Remove and stir. Microwave for 30 seconds more and when the chocolate has melted almost completely, allow it to sit for 1 minute more before stirring. Stir until you've reached a silky smooth consistency. *Microwave times may vary. If you are making a smaller amount of ganache, you will reduce the microwave time. If your chocolate hasn't melted after the 1 1/2 minutes recommended in the instructions, simply microwave in small 10-15 second increments until it has nearly completely melted. Let sit one minute, then stir until smooth. Assembly of CakeAs you assemble the cake, you can first spread with a thin layer of ganache (optional) and then top with Mint Chocolate Chip Buttercream. (You can either reserve the Mint Buttercream in a different bowl in stir in your mini chips, or sprinkle them onto the buttercream filling and incorporate the chips as you spread it.) Next, add the second layer of chocolate cake and repeat. Top with the final layer of cake, fill in any gaps with buttercream, crumb coat the cake (add a thin coat of buttercream), and follow with the final coat. If you are frosting the cake just like I did, you will tint a portion of the buttercream a medium shade of green, a lighter shade of green, and leave the rest white. Apply the frosting in sections and then frost with a bench scraper for a smooth finish. (For an extra smooth finish, place the frosted cake in the freezer for 15 minutes before going back over it with a hot bench scraper.) Load your ganache into a disposable piping bag with the tip snipped away. The ganache should flow easily from the bag but not so fast that it drips all the way down. Warm the bag for a few seconds if too thick, or allow to cool a few more minutes if thin. Apply the drip around the top edge of the cake with thee piping bag. Spoon additional ganache on top of the cake and spread with a small offset spatula. Once set, pipe french tip stars around the top edge of the cake and add chocolate chips or accents.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease a large tube or bundt pan and dust the pan with the cocoa. Tap out excess cocoa and set the pan aside.
- Place the chocolate in the top of a double boiler set over simmering water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt and set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together the butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the creme fraiche. Beat in the cooled chocolate.
- Remove the bowl from the mixer stand. Using a spoon, stir in the flour a little at a time, alternating with additions of milk and creme de menthe. Stir until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top and bake until the cake is springy to the touch and just begins to pull away from the edges of the pan, 65 to 70 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the pan and invert the cake onto a rack to cool completely.
- When cooled, place the rack over a sheet pan. Pour chocolate mint glaze over the cake and smooth with a spatula. Transfer the cake to a platter and garnish with mint sprigs. Serve or refrigerate.
