🥛 Buttermilk
🛢️ Oil
🍳 Eggs
🌼 Vanilla extract
💧 Hot water or coffee
🧈 Butter
🍭 Powdered sugar

🌿 Green food coloring (optional)
🍪 Crushed Mint Oreos
🥛 Heavy cream
🍫 Chocolate chips
🍪 Extra Mint Oreos (for decoration)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. 🎂
In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Mix well. 🥄
Add the buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat until smooth. 🍳
Carefully stir in the hot water or coffee until the batter is well combined. 🥄
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. 🍰
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. 🌬️
For the frosting, beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cream, mixing until smooth. Add peppermint extract and stir well. 🌱
Once the cakes are cool, spread frosting between layers and on the top and sides of the cake. 🌈
To create the fudge drip, melt the chocolate chips and heavy cream together in a microwave, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly, then drizzle over the edges of the cake, allowing it to drip down. 🍫
Decorate the top with crushed Mint Oreos, extra Mint Oreos, chocolate shavings, and mint leaves. 🌿
