- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 6 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup hot water
- 4 tbsp margarine, softened

- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda

Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
-
-
Prepare Frosting: In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, 1/2 cup margarine, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract. Blend until smooth. Add powdered sugar alternately with hot water, beating until smooth. Blend in melted chocolate.
-
Prepare Cake Batter: In another large bowl, combine 2 cups of the frosting mixture (set aside the rest for later) with 1/4 cup margarine and 1/4 cup butter. Blend well. Beat in eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour, baking soda, salt, and milk; beat until smooth.
-
Bake: Pour the cake batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and Assemble: Cool the cakes in the pans for 5 minutes, then remove them from the pans and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack. To assemble the cake, place one layer top side down on a serving plate. Spread about 1/4 of the reserved frosting mixture over the layer. Top with the second layer, top side up. Spread the remaining frosting over the sides and top of the cake.
