Ingredients
- White cake mix (Duncan Hines recommended)

- Water
- Vegetable oil
- Egg whites
- Creme de menthe (or syrup for a non-alcoholic version)
- Hot fudge
- Cool Whip (extra creamy variety)
- Andes Mints (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, flour, water, oil, and egg whites. Beat for 2 minutes, then stir in the creme de menthe.
- Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
- Once cooled, spread the hot fudge over the cake.
- Fold the creme de menthe into the Cool Whip and spread this minty topping over the fudge layer.
- Refrigerate for a few hours before serving. Garnish with Andes mints if desired.
Notes
- For a family-friendly version, use creme de menthe syrup instead of the alcoholic liqueur.
- If you prefer, garnish with chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips instead of Andes mints.
- This cake is even better after chilling for a few hours or overnight.
