MARBLE MINT & CHIPS LAYER CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. These are the 2 pans (9 X 9 inch) that I used to bake the cakes. You may also use an 8 inch ROUND PAN IF YOU LIKE, and cake will be taller in volumn. For this recipe I only needed 2 of these pans.
• Prepare cake according to directions on box.
• Add Peppermint Extract.
• Substitute Green River soda, or any Lemon Lime soda for the water.
• Add the Jello Pistachio pudding mix to the batter, as well as the mini chocolate chips.
• Divide batter in half into a separate bowl. Then add the box of Lemon Lime Jello.
• Add 20 drops of green food coloring to the bowl with the lime jello. Leaving other bowl as is.
• Alternate spoons of batter from each bowl to each pan, USING A SEPARATE SPOON FOR EACH BOWL.Blend till color is even.
• Smooth over top of batter in each pan with back of spoon to get the batter closer together if not already touching.
• Bake by package directions 350 degrees F, for me it was about 29 minutes.
• Prepare frosting by combining butter, cream cheese and powdered sugar, and beating till creamy. Then add the Irish Cream liqueur one tablespoon at a time till desired consistency is reached. adding a few drops of green food color till desired shade of green is reached.
• Frost cake between each layer, on top and sides.
• Top with garnish ingredients if desired. Green sugar crystals, mini chocolate chips, and andes mint candies.
• Cut and serve.
