Directions One per line	For the Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F Butter and flour three six inch pans. I use cake strips on my pans for more even baking as well. Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy Sift the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Beat the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until well-incorporated, scrape the bowl at least once. Beat the wet ingredients together in a medium bowl. Add the wet to the butter mixture and mix until just combined. Fold in dark chocolate chunks at the very end and mix. Divide the mixture evenly into the cake pans Bake for about 35 minutes or until the centers are springy to the touch and the edge is pulling away from the pan For the Buttercream: Beat the butter until light and fluffy. Add the confectioners' sugar, salt, extract, and cream then mix. Reserve about 3/4 cup of the buttercream for the white dollops. Divide the remaining buttercream into two batches a large one for the green and a small one for the chocolate spiral. Add green food coloring and chopped chocolate to one batch of buttercream and mix. Add cocoa powder to another batch of buttercream. Transfer both buttercreams into 2 piping bags. Add the green and cocoa buttercream to one bag, Snip off the tip. For the Assembly: Pipe the cocoa buttercream mixture between layers. Sprinkle crushed mint Oreos or chopped chocolate onto the buttercream and add next layer of cake. Repeat above step. Coat outside with green buttercream, smooth with an offset spatula. Add a skirt of chopped chocolate around the bottom of the cake. Pipe white buttercream dollops on top with an 869 tip Notes: If you’re not using 6-inch pans, double the recipe for 3 8-inch pans or triple the recipe for 9-inch pans.
