Peppermint Candy Cane Bundt Cake/#BundtBakers

Tweet

This month for the Bundt Bakers group the theme is "Naughty or Nice". Isn't that cute? I was tempted to do a naughty cake just for fun, but I baked a "nice" cake because I already had everything! Yes, sometimes I am that boring and practical! This Peppermint Candy Cane Bundt Cake is fun and tasty and cute, so I think it hits all the marks for something you would enjoy!

I found this plate at Target and I thought it was cute, and so perfect for this bundt cake theme!

Peppermint Candy Cane Bundt Cake


 (printable recipe)
2 cups Flour 
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/8 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cup Butter
1 3/4 cups Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla
4 Egg Whites 
1 1/3 cup Buttermilk
4 oz. White Chocolate Baking Bar
1/4 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
1/4 teaspoon Peppermint Flavoring
4-5 Crushed Candy Canes
1.55 ounce package Hershey's Candy Cane Bar 
Candy Cane Jellies (4 per cake)

In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugar and vanilla together. Add the egg whites, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Add the flour mix to the batter, a little at a  time, alternating with the buttermilk, beating on low speed until just combined.

Take one cup of batter and place it in a small bowl. Add red food coloring to the batter and mix together.

Grease and flour the mini bundt pan. Pour a small bit of plain batter into the bundt pans, top with some red batter, and then more plain batter. Use a toothpick to swirl the batter together.

  Let bundts cool while making the peppermint glaze.

Chop up the white baking bar. Melt in a double boiler. While the bar is melting, heat the cream in a microwave or other pot. Just heat until warm.

After the bar has melted, add cream a little at a time until it is thick, but still able to drizzle. Add the peppermint flavoring.

 Drizzle the frosting over the cakes.

Sprinkle crushed candy canes over the frosting drizzle. Shave some chocolate from the candy bar over the frosting. Add candy cane jellies to sides of cake using frosting as a glue.

 Enjoy! Thanks so much for stopping by!
