Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 ½ cups cake flour
1 ½ cups white sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup vegetable oil
7 eggs
½ cup water
½ teaspoon cream of tartar
1 ½ teaspoons peppermint extract
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
15 drops red food coloring

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Separate the eggs.
  • Sift the cake flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add the oil, egg yolks, water, peppermint extract and vanilla extract. Beat with mixer on low for 1 minute.
  • Beat egg whites with cream of tarter until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whites into the yolk mixture. Pour 1/3 of the batter into a separate bowl and tint with the food coloring.
  • Alternate large spoonfuls of red and plain batter into an ungreased tube or bundt pan. Run a knife or spatula through the batter to make a swirled effect.
  • Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 55 minutes. Increase heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until done. Let cake cool in pan on rack. Once cool remove from pan and frost, if desired.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this cake was not good. It was dry and crumbly.

This cake was a disaster! It didn't rise at all and it was very dense.

I had some trouble getting the cake to rise evenly, but it still tasted great.
