I love mint choc chip ice cream. so i know the cake is good too
Hello Jemma, id love to make this smaller maybe just 3 layers, what would the measurements be for this please?
Hello Jemma,hope you are doing great.i have one question,when you put the cake in fridge for 30 min,the buttercream should also go in the fridge or can be at room temp?please do reply..I have to make this cake today for my daughter.thank you in advance
Has anyone tried making the recipe in half… really want to try it but it's a hudge cake!
I love mint a lot , but I love matcha more
Why do you sift flower?
Thank You so much for this one. It made my husband’s birthday that much more special. Everything about the cake was spot on! Thanks again!
Hey Jemma thanks so much for the amazing videos best thing about you is about the recipes and clear video procedures..greatest fan from Africa I'm here to stay
I will make this for my birthday..I love chocolate and mint and my fave colour is green..
By the way I love your expressions
' if you don't have one you can still do this' …your amazing. Big up from Jamaica..
thata a lotta sugar
I love the video and I will try to bake this cake, wish me luck!
Have you tried using cake strips?
Paul Hollywood wants to know Jemma if you can cut into some of these cakes and cupcakes so we can see the layers and the sponge? Thanks!
you are a star, I love your baking cakes
Slow Dawn..
Hi Jemma, just wondering if you have ever tried cake- strips – dampened fabric strips you put around the tins before baking – apparently they give a more level cake with moist sides so there's no need to level and trim. I guess they are better suited to a hobby baker than a professional. It would be great to know your thoughts on, and or experiences of, them. Thanks again for another inspiring recipe! Mint-choc- chip was one of my favourite ice-cream flavours when I was a kid!
I want this every ml and grams into cups
I love 🍰
How can I cut the ingredients if I only want to make a 2 layer cake? Thanks.
I love your videos but the amount of batter and icing e.g. you waste by transferring things into so many different bowls and not cleaning the bowls with a spatula makes me cringe.
Nice! birthday is amazing and look taste!
I find by using cake strips ( or damp kitchen cloth wrapped in aluminium foil ) around the tins before going into the oven help the cakes to stay flat at the top and no crust around the sides and therefore NO WASTE 🙂 I'm surprised you do not use this method as lots of professionals now do – just saying.
This cake is yummy and amazing
🤩 wow beautiful cake she made I love it
I love chocolate cake thanks for the recipe
Hi Gemma, how deep are these tins?
Just made this cake and my oven took 36 mins per 2 layers, am I doing something wrong? The chocolate chips also stuck to the bottom of the tins??
Is there any substitute instead of peppermint extract?
Thankyou for this recipe , made it for my Sons birthday , decorated it with a mint choc ganach and after eight mints . Tasted yummy 😋
I'm number 1 fan I love your beautiful recipes hand's down.
I love mint choc chip!! This makes me drool!!
Is the buttercream too sweet? My family does not like it too sweet.. If yes, can u do this mint choc chip buttercream using SMBC?
Donald trump orders her to make him a cake
When you say grease-free paper, is that the same as parchment?
Muchas gracias, eres la mejor, mi escuela ha sido Cupcake Jemma, Dios te Bendiga, gracias.
Hi! What peppermint extract do you use?
OMG the SML theme is playing!
Jemma how do you keep the cake moist if you are not decorating it until the next day?
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR NEW CAKE
Planning on making this for a birthday cake but does anyone know if it actually tastes like coffee? Xo
Hi Jemma! I love watching your videos so much! I just have a special request. Is there any way you could post recipes in US measurements, also? I'm sure you have lots of viewers from the USA and I know we would all appreciate it SO MUCH! 🙂
😀😀😀😀😀
Why don’t you share eggless cake recipe pls try to share eggless recipe am vegetarian
It's surprising to see that you never add plain sugar syrup to any of your cakes, why?
There was an ultimate sponge cake video. I found it on google Jamie's foodtibe but no recipe.
hello jemma I would have an urgent question because I quis in full purchase for the cake molds you give us the diameter to know 7 inch but not the height I am lost is it 3cm or 4cm or 7cm? thank you i think you are great
Jemma – Made this cake for my daughter's birthday. It turned out fantastic. I am a Doctor by profession and my daughter's birthday came during the Lockdown period in Delhi. Baking is my hobby but all birthday cakes are to be baked by me. Thanks.
