Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a cake tin with butter paper.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Keep it aside.

Add milk, vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and a few drops of green food coloring. Mix well.

Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Fold gently until you get a smooth batter.

Step 6: Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.

Step 7: Prepare the Icing
In a bowl, mix icing sugar with milk and peppermint extract. Add food coloring if desired. Stir until smooth.

Step 8: Decorate
Spread the icing evenly over the cooled cake. Garnish with mint leaves or chocolate shavings for a festive touch.
