Party Panche, Peppermint Candyland Cake
I have been having a very festive birthday week!
It kicked off with a wonderful dinner at a long time BFF’s house
She had quite a candle on my birthday cake plate!
I also made a cake for my family to enjoy after tree decorating last night
The little one’s eyes were popping!
This cake is easy to make
The batter is divided into two bowls
Half the batter is turned to peppermint
with food coloring and peppermint extract
and a dash of vanilla goes into the white batter
Place the vanilla batter in a well greased* bundt pan
Top with peppermint batter
Swirl with the tip of a sharp knife
*Tip: Grease your pan right before you fill it. If you grease the pan too early it can slide down the sides and you might not get the results you want. I also have good results using Baker’s Joy in a spray can
This is the cake after baking
Heat cream and add white chocolate
Poke cooled cake all over with a long skewer
Slowly pour ganache all over top of cake,
letting it puddle in the middle and drizzle down the sides
Top immediately with candy
I used a holiday candy mix I got from Target
and chopped peppermint bark for garnish
When serving, be sure to scoop up the ganache on the cake plate too
It’s Elf approved!
