Step-by-Step Instructions for Chocolate Mint Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing and flouring them.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well mixed.
  3. Add buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract to the dry mixture. Beat until smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour in boiling water slowly, stirring gently until the batter is smooth.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and level the surface.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
