This mint frosting recipe is a good frosting for mayonnaise cake. If you're really having a chocolate fit, double the glaze! The frosting and cake are rich enough to cut the unsweetened chocolate taste. Pour some glaze on the middle layer, too.

Ingredients

4 cups confectioners' sugar
½ cup butter, softened
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon mint extract
4 tablespoons milk
2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
2 tablespoons butter

Directions

In a large bowl, cream 1 1/3 cups sugar with salt and 1/2 cup butter or margarine. Blend mint extract, 2 tablespoons milk, and remaining sugar into mixture. Gradually stir remaining milk into frosting until desired spreading consistency is reached.
Melt and stir unsweetened chocolate and 2 tablespoons butter or margarine together in a microwave, or in a double boiler. Double this glaze, if desired.
Frost cake. Pipe a frosting scallop at the top edge of cake to keep glaze from dripping down the sides of cake. Pour glaze over the top of cake. Chill until glaze has set.
