cocoavalley posted:If this version doesn't work out for you, their Old Fashioned Chocolate Cake is my go-to recipe (that I was blabbing about a few posts up), along with the buttercream frosting (I skip the crushed peppermint candy). I usually use dark cocoa for the cake and split the layers so I can put jam or mint filling in them and it always comes out really good. Holy poo poo that looks good. I don't have access to specific Hersheys brand cocoa, I assume the regular ol' cocoa powder from the supermarket will do the trick? So I'd use like 2/3 cup regular cocoa powder in place of Hersheys? And how would you use/make mint filling, that sounds amazing.

Thanks for the help, cocoavalley  Made that cake today and it was amazing. I was out of icing sugar so couldn't make any buttercream frosting for it, but I will make mint flavoured icing for it when I make the cake again soon.

On the subject of fondant, where do you even get it? A specialist cake shop or a supermarket? Oh and that reminds me: I think I asked here once where the hell I could find mint extract (in the UK). I finally found some in sainsburys and put some in my buttercream icing for a chocolate cake, and it wasn't too bad. Little bit too strong maybe, but I'd definitely try it again.
