In reply to Anna. Yay, Anna! I'm so happy this recipe was a hit! And yes - piping with the mint chocolate chip buttercream can be a challenge. It helps to keep a toothpick handy to unclog the piping tip if you need to or use a larger tip as you suggested.

Just made this cake for Father’s Day and it was the bomb. Definitely a husband favorite as he loves his Girl Scout thin mint cookies! I would recommend a larger piping tip as my first one got clogged with chocolate chip pieces. Otherwise a perfect cake!

In reply to Kelsey. Hi Kelsey! For a two layer 8 inch cake, keep the recipe as-is. For a triple layer 8 inch cake, make 1.5x the recipe. Enjoy!

If I wanted to make an 8″ cake would you recommend doubling the recipe? I made this as the recipe is and it was a huge hit!

In reply to Lauren.

Of course, Lauren! So happy you love the vegan cookies and cream recipe. To create a vegan version of this recipe, use this vegan chocolate cake recipe: http://sugarandsparrow.com/vegan-chocolate-cake-recipe and instead of adding 2 tsp vanilla, add 1 tsp vanilla + 1/2 tsp peppermint extract. For the buttercream, double this vegan vanilla buttercream recipe as a base: https://sugarandsparrow.com/vegan-vanilla-buttercream-recipe/ and instead of adding 4 tsp vanilla, add 1 tsp pure peppermint extract, 2 tsp pure vanilla extract, a few drops of green food color gel, and then fold in 1/2 Cup (92g) semi-sweet chocolate chips, finely chopped. Hope that helps! Now I need to make a vegan version of this cake!

Whitney, my family has had to transition to vegan based cakes due to a dairy and egg allergy, could you give me a few ideas on how to transition this to a vegan more like your vegan cookies and cream cake? BTW, we loved that one!
