I love mint aero and I love chocolate cake (but that’s nothing new) So I thought I’d mix the two together and this gooey mint chocolate cupcake creation was born. These are so simple to make, the mint flavour isn’t overpowering at all. here’s how I made them! What you will need – A box of betty crocker chocolate devils food cake mix, 3 eggs, 250ml water, 6tbsp oil, icing sugar, butter, a bag of mint aero balls and a tiny drop of blue food colouring.
Over night freeze a bag of mint aero balls. The next morning Pre heat the oven to 180..Mix the cake mix, eggs, oil and water in a large bowl. Now stir until the mixture is nice and smooth. Pour the cake mix into the baking tray and pop in a few of the mint aero balls. I found it was best to cut them in half. Pop them in the oven for around 20-23 minutes, then check with a skewer or tooth pick to see if they’re done, if the toothpick comes out clean..they’re ready!
Leave the cakes to cool for 15-20 minutes. In the mean time it’s time to make the pastel mint buttercream icing. Mix butter and icing sugar in a bowl until it forms a thick paste. Add in a tiny drop of blue food colouring, stir until it’s an even mint green colour. Apply a generous helping of icing to the cupcake. I didn’t want to make the butter cream icing mint flavoured too as I thought it may be overpowering with the mint aero flavour already in the cake mix!
Top it off with a little mint aero ball and you’re good to go. Take a bite and you’re met with the taste of warm gooey chocolate cake mixed with a nice hint of mint chocolate flavour, yum. Perfect for chocolate lovers.
