  FOR THE CAKE: set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC. Grease and flour
  two round cake pans.
  
  In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 lb of butter and stir in
  4 tablespoons cocoa. Pour in boiling water, let the
  mixture bubble up for 30 seconds, then turn the burner
  to low. Add 10 peppermint patties and stir until almost
  totally melted. Remove pan from heat and set aside.
  
  In a measuring cup mix together the buttermilk, baking
  soda, eggs, vanilla, and mint extract. Set aside.
  
  In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar, and
  salt. Pour the hot cocoa mixture into the bowl, stirring
  to slightly cool it. Pour in the buttermilk mixture and
  stir until smooth.
  
  Pour batter into cake pans and bake for 16-18 minutes,
  or until done. Remove cakes from pans and let them cool
  completely on a wire rack.
  
  FOR THE FROSTING: In a large bowl beat butter until
  fluffy. Add vanilla caviar to bowl. Slowly add powdered
  sugar and salt and beat until fluffy. Add half-and-half
  and mint extract and beat until totally fluffy.
  
  Place one layer of cake face down on a platter (flat
  side up) and spread a good layer of icing on top. Place
  the second layer face down on top, then ice the top and
  sides of the cake, getting plenty of icing around the
  sides. Decorate the cake with a circle of peppermint
  patties.
  
  Store leftovers in the fridge!
