Instructions

Prepare the Cake

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar substitute.
3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, applesauce, almond milk, coffee, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans.
6. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting.

Make the Mint Frosting

1. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar substitute, mint extract, and food coloring (if using) until smooth and fluffy.
2. Gently fold in the whipped topping.

Assemble the Cake

1. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a thick layer of mint frosting on top.
2. Add the second cake layer and frost the entire cake with the remaining mint frosting.

Prepare the Chocolate Drip

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with almond milk in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
2. Allow the chocolate to cool slightly, then drizzle it over the edges of the cake using a spoon or piping bag.

Decorate

1. Sprinkle the crushed Oreo-style cookies over the top of the cake.
2. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an elegant touch.
