SHORTCUT PEPPERMINT LAYER CAKE
When I first made this cake it was snowing outside, the entire family was home, and we enjoyed it all together. A perfectly pretty holiday cake for a perfect holiday moment! Be sure to measure the the peppermint extract carefully-it's strong, and a little bit goes a very long way. -Mindie Hilton, Susanville, California
