Ingredients:
For the cake:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups buttermilk
½ cup hot coffee
For the peppermint buttercream:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 cups confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons peppermint extract
2-3 tablespoons heavy cream
For the topping:
1 cup crushed candy canes
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line three 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just incorporated.
Stir in the hot coffee, making sure the batter is well combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cakes cool, make the peppermint buttercream by creaming the butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually add in the confectioners' sugar, peppermint extract, and heavy cream until you reach your desired consistency.
Place one of the cooled cakes on a serving plate and spread a layer of the peppermint buttercream on top. Repeat with the remaining cakes and buttercream, stacking them on top of each other.
Finally,smooth the remaining buttercream over the top and sides of the cake. Sprinkle crushed candy canes on top for a festive touch.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the buttercream to set.
