I made this for a co-worker's birthday. I don't think anyone disliked it, but it didn't get eaten very well. I think part of it was that it didn't look very pretty. The pudding part was sort of messy looking. I would also have liked to doctor up the cake mix a little. The taste was nice though.

I made this for a pool party as a birthday cake for a friend. I was a little concerned as I made it because all of the pudding mixture didnâ€™t go down into the cake. Quite a bit of the pudding stayed on top and I wasnâ€™t sure if that was how it was supposed to be or how it would frost. Well, the frosting went on like a charm and the cake was a HUGE hit. Everyone loved it, including ME â€“ and I donâ€™t like mint! I got several requests for the recipe, and my friend who hosted the party kept some of the cake for later. I will definitely make this moist, delicious cake many times!

I love anything with chocolate and mint, especially "Peppermint Patty" candy. This cake tastes just like the candy, so cool and refreshing, I could probably eat half of it right now. It's perfect for this time of year, summertime. And did I mention I'm a huge fan of "poke cakes", I've dedicated a whole cookbook to just those cakes. Thanks for a great recipe, will make again.
