Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ¾ cups (350g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup finely chopped fresh mint leaves
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 4 ounces (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2–3 tablespoons (30-45ml) milk
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-inch bundt pan thoroughly with butter and dust with flour, tapping out excess.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. Set aside.
  3. Using an electric mixer, beat softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next. Mix in vanilla extract.
  5. Alternately add the dry flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed just until combined.
  6. Gently fold in chopped fresh mint leaves with a spatula.
  7. Scoop about one-third of the batter into a separate bowl. Add semi-sweet chocolate chips to this portion and stir gently.
  8. Spoon half of the plain mint batter into the bundt pan, then add all of the chocolate chip batter on top. Finish with the remaining plain batter.
  9. Use a butter knife or skewer to swirl through the layers carefully to create a marbled effect without overmixing.
  10. Bake for 50-60 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick inserted in the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Tent with foil if top browns too fast.
  11. Cool the cake in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Prepare the cream cheese glaze by whisking together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable. Adjust milk for desired consistency.
  13. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled cake and let set for about 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs and butter for best texture. Grease and flour bundt pan well to prevent sticking. Swirl batter gently to maintain a defined marble pattern. Adjust glaze thickness with milk for a smooth drizzle. Cake tastes best the day after baking once flavors meld.
