For many fans of the popular pairing, chocolate and mint were simply made to go together. Here, chocolate cake is infused with the flavor of spearmint by first steeping the herb in hot water to coax out the flavor before beating with the other ingredients. The cake itself is rich tasting and ultra moist and tender, thanks to the melted chocolate, eggs and oil in the batter. Garnish with more fresh mint leaves, if desired, and serve with hot mint tea.
