In reply to Chasity. This batter bakes up for cupcakes, but it will have a flat top vs a domed top. You also want to fill the cupcake liners just a little more than half; any more and the batter will spill over as it bakes.

In reply to Jane. I would store the frosted cake in the fridge, but pull it out an hour or two before serving and serve it at room temperature (that way the buttercream won't be hard).

In reply to Melody. Sorry about that! The extra vanilla is a typo. I changed it in the recipe. If you did use the extra amount it won't hurt anything, and still taste good.:) I just put mint in the buttercream, but if you really like mint, you could add 1 teaspoon mint extract to the cake as well.

In reply to Nitza. Sorry about that! The extra vanilla is a typo. I changed it in the recipe. If you did use the extra amount it won't hurt anything, and still taste good.:) I just use the crushed candies for sprinkling on top, but if you really like mint, you can spinkle it in between the layers as well - totally up to you.

Help? Ok – cake part came out great but I am confused about the frosting directions. When do you add the crushed peppermint candies? Does it go onto the frosting or is it strictly for garnishing? And why, in the frosting ingredients, are there 2 listings for vanilla – one for vanilla, and one for a different amount of vanilla extract? No mention of when they are both used, just one instruction for adding vanilla.
