Molly adores mint milkshakes from her favorite fast-food place. This is her homemade version with a big moist piece of chocolate cake blended right in! It’s thick and sweet with a wintery fresh mouthfeel. Mmm!
For the shake: In a high-speed blender, blend the milk and mint until very smooth. Add the ice cream (break it up with a spoon a bit rather than dumping in the whole pint in one big chunk) and pulse a few times to incorporate. Add the chocolate cake and blend until combined.
For the whipped cream: In a medium, cold, mixing bowl, add the cream and powdered sugar. Using an electric hand mixer or whisk, whisk the cream to stiff peaks.
To serve the shake, add a dollop of whipped cream and top with some crumbled chocolate cake and a sprig of fresh mint.
Enjoy immediately.
Chocolate Cake (use your favorite go-to chocolate cake or this one):
Yield:One 8-inch cake
Arrange an oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, coffee and vanilla extract.
Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour in the coffee mixture. Using a stiff rubber spatula, mix to fully combine. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan.
Bake in the oven until a toothpick stuck into the center comes out clean; begin checking at 28 minutes.
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
