Made with a cup of mint tea, this is a very moist cake. Since there's a hint of mint in the cake, I drizzle the top with a chocolate-mint glaze.

Time 1h55m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup water
6 peppermint tea bags
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, broken into pieces
2 cups white sugar
2 eggs, separated
1 ¼ cups sour cream
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ cup mini chocolate chips
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons half-and-half, or more as needed
½ cup confectioners' sugar
¼ teaspoon peppermint extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
  • Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Steep tea bags in the water for 5 minutes. Squeeze tea bags over the saucepan and discard. Bring tea to a boil.
  • Combine butter and chocolate in a large mixing bowl. Pour in the hot tea; whisk until melted. Beat in sugar and egg yolks using an electric mixer.
  • Mix sour cream and baking soda together in a separate bowl. Add to the batter, mixing well. Mix in flour and baking powder.
  • Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold into the batter. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a plate. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Make glaze while the cake is cooling. Melt chocolate chips and butter together in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in half-and-half until blended. Remove from heat; stir in confectioners' sugar and peppermint extract. Drizzle over cooled cake.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon cocoa
1 (18 ounce) box devil's food cake mix
1 (4 ounce) box instant chocolate pudding mix
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1/2 cup hot water
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract or 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract, to taste
2 tablespoons crushed candy canes (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees C).
  • Grease and flour a Bundt pan- mix the cocoa with the flour so it doesn't leave a white coating on the cake.
  • Combine cake mix, pudding mix, oil, eggs, water, sour cream, and vanilla.
  • Beat until smooth.
  • Stir in chocolate chips by hand.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan.
  • Bake for 1 hour- but check it after 55 minutes just in case.
  • Allow to cool.
  • In a medium bowl, mix powdered sugar with peppermint extract (to taste- adjust as necessary), then mix a few drops of hot water.
  • Stir stir stir.
  • If it's too thick, add another couple drops of water.
  • Drizzle over turned out cake.
  • Sprinkle with crushed candy canes, if you got`em.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will work well.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before glazing it. This will help the glaze set properly.
  • For a richer glaze, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • If you don't have a bundt pan, you can bake the cake in a 9x13 inch pan.
  • This cake is also delicious without the glaze. If you prefer a less sweet cake, you can omit the glaze altogether.

Conclusion:

This reduced-sugar chocolate bundt cake with peppermint glaze is a delicious and festive dessert that's perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and chocolatey, with just the right amount of sweetness. The peppermint glaze adds a refreshing touch that complements the chocolate perfectly. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
