Mint Chocolate Cake - 4.5/5

I'm legitimately upset that this cake tastes good because it was such a massive pain to make.

The cake sunk in the middle while baking, I had to make multiple substitutions, my ganache fell apart TWICE (I'm blaming the chocolate, even Ghirardelli APPARENTLY couldn't save this), I had so many dishes to do after all this.

But it tastes, tragically, very good, and would probably be a nice thing to make around the holidays.

Notes (very important)

• Bake the cake for 25-30min in a 6" pan

• halve the recipe for that pan

• if you don't use mint you can use 1.5x the amount of peppermint extract

• using butter instead of shortening is fine

• DO NOT use all of the frosting it's too much (use 1/2-3/4 of it)

• DO buy very good baking chocolate for the stupid ganache even if it kills you to pay for it

• DO use coffee instead of hot water for the cake, it's fine

• the substitute for whole milk is a 1:1 ratio of heavy cream to water

• DO NOT add the salt into the ganache if the chocolate is dark enough

• DO make the ganache a traditional way, heating the cream first, then pouring it in a bowl and adding all the chocolate at once

• IF you have the same problem I do, here is the trick I used to fix the ganache

"Onírica - Mynte, Champion of Mint Cake"

The Number 100 among the 100 Sweet Daemons or Sweet Spirits that came to the New Dominion from Dulce Inferno, a very joyful, optimistic and hopeful fellow who turns out ot be the least capable for combat of the 100. Despite being a Champion, is clear that Mynte would rather not fight at all and always tries to convince his enemies to change sides, except with demons, that is. Despite being the least capable in combat, he's manage to beat the odds more than once, being among the 100 means he is one of the best combatants of his kin.

Outside of combat he is a happy and a bit gullible guy that seems to never be depressed, and while not being especially smart, he's always managed to pull through anything... these are traits that are very useful for someone like him, who seems to be prone to accidents, be inopportune and who generally seems cursed with bad luck. He travels the world with his beloved Amarya, a mischivous fox daemon that loves his optimism, and together, they tend to get in trouble very often...

Mynte's character was inspired in this song:

The 6 year old kid is more innocent than the dumb, mean, going backwards, old white men in Congress. I understand that kid. In my Prime, I can still behave like that kid. He was right: Politics is boring.

Here's a first draft of what a reformed Mint King might look like at the conclusion of my Mint King AU. Tried to stick with colours that are found in cough drop flavours, although in tags somewhere someone suggested Pastrykov as the pun and I love it so much, tempted to rework it with that idea :D
