For an extra burst of mint flavor, consider adding a few drops of green food coloring to the buttercream. If the glaze is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or cream to thin it out. Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor in the glaze. The mint extract strength may vary, so start with less and adjust to your preference. This recipe works well with chocolate cake, vanilla cake, or even brownies. For a vegan option, substitute the butter with vegan butter and the milk with plant-based milk.
