Baking Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13 inch cake pan by lightly greasing it or lining with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Duncan Hines Classic White Cake Mix, all-purpose flour, water, vegetable oil, and egg whites. Mix with a hand mixer on low for 30 seconds, then medium for 2 minutes.
  3. Gently stir in the creme de menthe syrup or liqueur until evenly distributed. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan.
  4. Bake for 28-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Monitor closely towards the end.
  5. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Spread the thick hot fudge topping evenly over the cooled cake.
  7. In a separate bowl, fold the Cool Whip 'Extra Creamy' with additional creme de menthe syrup until combined, then spread over the fudge layer.
  8. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
