Christmas holiday seasons, I like to make this Peppermint Cake. Every year
I make it for our holiday parties and always receive positive reviews and
requests to make it again.
It does take some time to make this dessert cake, but it will be well
worth your efforts.
Peppermint Cake Recipe
2 1/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup applesauce
1/2 cup milk
4 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 9" round cake pan with
nonstick vegetable spray. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking
powder, salt and baking soda. In a large bowl, combine the granulated
sugar and softened butter with a mixer at medium speed. Whisk in the
applesauce, milk, egg whites and vanilla extract. Add flour mixture to the
applesauce mixture and stir until well combined. Pour batter into your
prepared cake pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out
clean. Cool cake on a wire rack. Once cool, split the cake in half
horizontally to make 2 cakes.
Peppermint Frosting
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
2 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
3 tablespoons peppermint starlight candies, crushed
Tip: To crush candies, place 6 of them in a plastic zipper close bag and
then wrap the bag in a clean dry kitchen towel. Use a maillot to smash
candies.
In the top of a double boiler, whisk together granulated sugar, water, egg
whites and cream of tartar. Cook over simmering water for 4 minutes or
until mixture is hot and sugar is dissolved (do not boil). Remove from
heat. Stir in peppermint extract. Beat with an electric mixer at high
speed for 3 minutes or until mixture forms stiff peaks.
Place one cake layer on serving plate. Spread frosting on top of the
layer. Top with the second layer and spread frosting on the top and sides
of the cake. Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies on the top and sides
of cake.
Store cake in a cake storage container to protect it.
