I made this "thin mint cake" today with butter cream icing. I got the cake recipe and frosting recipe from a blog: http://iammommy.typepad.com/i_am_baker/2011/
THIN MINT CAKE
1 box chocolate cake mix
1 cup water
2 sticks butter (softened)
4 eggs
1/2 ripe banana
1 tbsp. cinnamon
1 tbsp. + 1/4 tsp peppermint extract
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
Heat oven to 325 degrees.

Heat oven to 325 degrees.
Combine all ingredients in a mixer on low for thirty seconds, then increase speed to medium and mix until just combined.
It has cinnamon in it. I made it with cinnamon in it. I hate cinnamon. It's gross in 99% of the stuff it's in. I wanted to like this recipe, I really did. I also tried the ribbon or ruffle frosting technique on this cake. I sort liked the way it looked. Apparently, I need an Ateco 401 tip to get this just right. Sadly, I didn't like the way this cake tasted! Note to self, no cinnamon in the future and leave out the banana too!
So, what to you think? Banana in a mint cake with cinnamon? As for the decorating, I'm a beginner, be KIND!
