This cake would be great to serve for Christmas dessert. The chocolate and peppermint flavor go together perfectly. With peppermint extract in both the chocolate cake and the glaze, this cake is filled with delicious peppermint flavor. Top with crushed peppermint candy for garnish.
The moist chocolate cake batter is so simple to make, no mixer is required just a large bowl and a whisk. All of the dry ingredients are whisked together, followed by the eggs, milk, vegetable oil and peppermint extract. Whisk all of the ingredients together until smooth. Pour the chocolate cake batter into a 9-inch bundt cake pan that has been greased with non-stick cooking spray. Bake until the cake comes out clean with a toothpick. Let the cake cool slightly in the pan, before turning it upside down onto a plate. Let the cake cool completely before pouring the glaze on top. For the creamy peppermint glaze, powdered sugar is mixed with milk and peppermint extract until smooth. Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the glaze evenly over the cake, and garnish with crushed peppermint candy.
