Print: Mint Buttercream Frosting With Dark Chocolate Glaze

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.
