How to Make Peppermint Bark Christmas Cake
Gather Your Ingredients
To make this mouthwatering dessert, you will need flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, eggs, milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract for the cake layers. For the frosting, you will need butter, powdered sugar, heavy cream, and crushed candy canes. And for the peppermint bark topping, you will need dark chocolate, white chocolate, and crushed candy canes. Make sure to have all your ingredients measured and ready before starting.
Bake the Cake Layers
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients - flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients - eggs, milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract. Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and mix until well combined. Pour the batter into three 8-inch cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes. Once done, let the cakes cool completely.
Make the Peppermint Frosting
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and gradually add in powdered sugar. Add heavy cream and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy. Crush some candy canes and fold them into the frosting. This will give it a delicious peppermint flavor and add a festive touch.
Assemble the Cake
Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a thick layer of peppermint frosting on top. Repeat with the remaining layers. Make sure to evenly spread the frosting between the layers. Once the cake is assembled, refrigerate it for 30 minutes to allow the frosting to set.
Make the Peppermint Bark Topping
In a double boiler, melt dark chocolate and white chocolate separately. Spread the melted dark chocolate onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and let it set. Once set, spread the melted white chocolate on top and sprinkle with crushed candy canes. Let it set in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before breaking it into pieces.
Add the Finishing Touch
Take the cake out of the refrigerator and place the peppermint bark pieces on top. You can also add some additional crushed candy canes for garnish. Your peppermint bark Christmas cake is now ready to be served and enjoyed!
With its beautiful layers of chocolate and peppermint, this cake is sure to be a showstopper at any holiday gathering. So why not add this professional and well-organized recipe to your Christmas menu this year and impress your loved ones with your baking skills? Happy baking!
