Peppermint Candy Cane Bundt Cake/#BundtBakers

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!

Making a bundt 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.

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.
chopping white chocolate
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.

    3. Ooooh....from what I can see of the batter, the cake has a candy cane effect going once it's cut into, right? I love that! I'm glad you went the 'nice' route too. :)
