PEPPERMINT PATTY CAKE



Peppermint Patty Cake image

One afternoon I was craving chocolate mint - this is the result of that. =) Minty and decadent - a great surprise for holiday guests! If you are ambitious you can prepare a homemade cake and chocolate frosting as well. I am using my preferred preparation.

Provided by Cheryl Campagna

Categories     Cakes

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 box chocolate cake mix (i like pillsbury traditional chocolate)
1 can(s) prepared chocolate frosting (again, pillsbury is preferred)
eggs, oil and water for cake prep
FILLING
2 c powdered sugar (have more on hand)
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp milk
mint or peppermint extract - to taste
GARNISH
1/2 to 1 pkg andes baking chips

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare cake according to package ingredients. This can be made in either layer form or flat pan - I will give directions for both.
  • 2. Mix powdered sugar, butter, and milk in bowl. Beat until creamy. Add Mint extract until you reach a mint flavor that seems good to you. (Some people like super minty, some people don't) You may need to add a little more powdered sugar as the extract will thin the frosting and we want it to be nice and thick!
  • 3. FOR FLAT PAN: Frost top of cake to about an 1/8 inch thickness, keeping it as uniform as possible. Place in freezer until you can run a finger over the frosting without smearing it.
  • 4. Remove pan from freezer. Spread chocolate frosting atop mint frosting.
  • 5. FOR ROUND PANS: Remove cake from pans. Trim top and sides so they are level. Spread ONLY TOP of each layer with mint frosting. DO NOT frost the sides! Place in freezer until you can run a finger over frosting without smearing.
  • 6. Remove pans from freezer. Frost a layer of chocolate over the mint frosting on top of layers. Carefully place one layer on top, frost sides with chocolate only.
  • 7. BOTH Sprinkle Andes Baking chips over top. You can also chop these up very fine and put these on the sides of layer cake.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: This is the most important ingredient, so don't skimp. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 60%).
  • Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature: This will help it blend smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • Chill the mixture before shaping: This will help it hold its shape better.
  • Roll the balls in crushed candy canes or peppermint extract: This will give them a festive look and taste.
  • Keep the patties in the fridge until ready to serve: They will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Peppermint patties are a classic holiday treat that are easy to make at home. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create delicious and festive treats that everyone will love. So what are you waiting for? Get baking!
