Peppermint Cream Pound Cake image

I came up with this recipe when I was looking for a twist on traditional pound cake. I love the look and flavor of peppermint, especially at Christmas, so it seemed like a natural pairing. Everyone at work loved the results, and my family did, too. - Carolyn Webster, Winston-Salem, North Carolina

The cake was easy to make and the instructions were clear. The only thing I would change is to use a little less peppermint extract. It was a bit overpowering for my taste.
