Red Velvet Peppermint Cake image

Once again, here is another cake that I have discovered since moving to Georgia. Red Velvet cake is a big thing here. This is a twist for the holidays that I really like. I got the recipe from Southern Living magazine.

FOR THE CAKE
1 pkg (18.25-ounce) white cake mix
3 egg whites
1 1/3 c buttermilk
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 pkg (9-ounce) yellow cake mix*
1/2 c buttermilk
1 large egg
1 1/2 Tbsp cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1-2 Tbsp liquid red food coloring
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
PEPPERMINT CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 c butter, softened
2 lb powdered sugar
2 tsp peppermint extract

Steps:

  • 1. Beat first 4 ingredients according to cake mix package directions.

  • 3. Bake at 350 degrees F for 22-25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove from pans; cool on wire racks.
  • 4. Spread Peppermint Cream Cheese Frosting between layers and on top and sides of cake. (Cake may be chilled up to 2 days or frozen up to 1 month.) Garnish, if desired. Serve within 2 hours.
  • 5. *1 3/4 cups yellow cake mix may be substituted.
  • 6. If cake is frozen, thaw completely before garnishing to prevent crushed candy from running. Do not refrigerate after garnishing.
  • 7. For Frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating at low speed until smooth. Add extract, beating until blended.

This cake was a bit dry for my taste, but the peppermint buttercream was delicious. I would definitely make it again, but with a different cake recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of peppermint, but this cake was still delicious. The cake itself was moist and fluffy, and the cream cheese buttercream was the perfect complement.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still enjoyable. I would definitely make it again, but with less sugar.

Complete waste of time. The cake was dry and flavorless. Don't bother with this recipe.

This cake was a disaster! The layers were dry and the peppermint buttercream was grainy. I won't be making this recipe again.

The cake was easy to make and turned out beautifully. The peppermint buttercream was a bit too minty for my taste, but overall it was a good cake.
