PEPPERMINT FUDGE CAKE



Peppermint Fudge Cake image

If you like pepppermint, this cake will knock your socks off. It's minty, fudgy, and full of delicious flavor. Amazingly, it's also low fat and completely IBS safe! This recipe is from the cookbook "Eating for IBS" by the wonderful Heather Van Vorous. You can also substitute almond extract for the peppermint for a different taste experience, or just leave out the second extract completely and double the vanilla! This is great with a chocolate or mocha glaze (see my mocha mint glaze!).

Time 1h10m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup canola oil
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 tablespoon peppermint extract (I actually prefer it with 2 tsp, so you may want to start there)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Spray a 10 inch bundt pan with cooking oil and set aside.
  • Sift together flour, baking soda, cocoa powder, cornstarch, sugar, and salt in large bowl; whisk together well.
  • Whisk together applesauce, oil, vanilla, and peppermint extract by hand in medium bowl.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry with a few swift strokes just until blended.
  • Pour into bundt pan.
  • Bake 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  • Cool on rack.

Tips:

  • Prepare all ingredients in advance: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients measured and ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your cake will taste. Opt for real butter, pure vanilla extract, and high-quality chocolate.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cake.

Conclusion:

This peppermint fudge cake is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of chocolate and peppermint is a classic flavor combination that is sure to please everyone. With its rich, fudgy texture and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
