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

Ingredients

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:

Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your cake. Use real butter, not margarine, and use fresh eggs.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix the batter only until it is just combined.
Bake the cake at the right temperature. The cake should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If the oven is too hot, the cake will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Be creative with your decorations. You can use a variety of different toppings to decorate your cake, such as whipped cream, chocolate chips, or sprinkles.

Conclusion:

Peppermint fudge cake is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little bit of effort, you can create a stunning and delicious cake that will impress your friends and family.
