The history of the After Eight Cake is fascinating, rooted in pastry traditions that emphasize the combination of chocolate and mint. This recipe has evolved over time, becoming a symbol of elegance and refinement in desserts.

Preparation:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. Make sure you know where each ingredient comes from; for example, the flour should be fresh for the best results. The added sugar will provide the necessary sweetness to balance the intense flavor of the chocolate with mint.

2. Mixing the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and coconut flakes. Mix the dry ingredients well using a spatula or whisk. The coconut flakes not only add an exotic flavor but also provide a pleasant texture to the cake.

3. Adding the wet ingredients: Add the yogurt, eggs, oil, mint syrup, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use an electric mixer to combine everything until you achieve a smooth and homogeneous mixture. It is essential that the ingredients are at room temperature to ensure even mixing.

4. Preparing the chocolate: Break the dark mint chocolate into suitable pieces. You can use mint chocolate according to your preference; this will add an extra intensity to the flavor.

5. Preparing the multicooker bowl: Remove the bowl from the multicooker and place it on a sheet of baking paper. Draw a circle on the paper to guide the cutting. Wet the paper, gently squeeze it in your palm to make it more flexible.

6. Assembling the cake: Grease the inside of the multicooker bowl with butter to prevent sticking. Place the wet paper at the bottom of the bowl, then add the pieces of chocolate on top. Pour the mint mixture over the chocolate, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

7. Baking: Place the bowl in the multicooker, close the lid, select the Bake program, set the temperature to 180°C, and choose a baking time of 50 minutes. During baking, the flavors will blend perfectly, and the chocolate will melt, creating a velvety texture.

8. Cooling and decorating: Once the time is up, unplug the multicooker and open the lid. Allow the cake to cool in the bowl for a few minutes, then gently remove the cake from the bowl. Trim a little from the top to avoid a dome shape.

9. Preparing the whipped cream: Whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until it becomes firm. Add the green food coloring and mix well. This will give your cake a festive appearance.

10. Final decoration: Spread the whipped cream over the cake using a spatula to create a pleasing look. You can decorate with small pieces of After Eight chocolate around the edges and crumble some of the chocolate mixture on top.

11. Serving: The After Eight Cake is perfect for serving at a festive meal or a gathering with friends. It can be accompanied by a fragrant coffee or herbal tea, creating an unforgettable culinary experience.

Helpful tips:
- If you don’t have a multicooker, you can use a conventional oven, setting the temperature to 180°C and the baking time to 50-55 minutes.
- You can experiment with other syrup flavors: a caramel or chocolate syrup can add an interesting twist to the cake.
- Instead of coconut, you can add ground nuts or almonds for a crunchy texture.
