Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cake flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Blend well.
  • Slowly add the butter, eggs, milk, vanilla and mint and mix until slightly lumpy. Tip: If you using a KitchenAid Mixer, start on 1 to mix then increase speed for 3-4 minutes until well blended.
  • Separate the green mint baking chips from the dark chocolate ones.
  • Place the green mint baking chips into your cupcake batter by gently folding them into it.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place cupcake liners into your cupcake pan.
  • Use your ice cream scooper to fill each cupcake liner with batter until the liners are half way full (it usually only takes 1 scoop).
  • Bake for 15-17 minutes or until a toothpick can be inserted and comes out clean.
  • Remove cupcakes from oven and begin to work on the frosting.
  • To make the frosting, start with the sugar and butter. Mix until you get small clumps.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and continue to stir. You want to achieve a fluffy consistency.
  • Spoon the frosting into a pastry bag and attach the large star tip.
  • Working from the outside-in, pipe the frosting onto the top of the cooled cupcakes.
  • As you reach the middle, give it a swirl and pull up on the frosting to get a nice peak.
  • Garnish with half of an Andies mint and serve!
