Once again, here is another cake that I have discovered since moving to Georgia. Red Velvet cake is a big thing here. This is a twist for the holidays that I really like. I got the recipe from Southern Living magazine.

FOR THE CAKE
1 pkg (18.25-ounce) white cake mix
3 egg whites
1 1/3 c buttermilk
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 pkg (9-ounce) yellow cake mix*
1/2 c buttermilk
1 large egg
1 1/2 Tbsp cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1-2 Tbsp liquid red food coloring
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
PEPPERMINT CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

  • 3. Bake at 350 degrees F for 22-25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove from pans; cool on wire racks.
  • 4. Spread Peppermint Cream Cheese Frosting between layers and on top and sides of cake. (Cake may be chilled up to 2 days or frozen up to 1 month.) Garnish, if desired. Serve within 2 hours.
  • 5. *1 3/4 cups yellow cake mix may be substituted.
  • 6. If cake is frozen, thaw completely before garnishing to prevent crushed candy from running. Do not refrigerate after garnishing.
  • 7. For Frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating at low speed until smooth. Add extract, beating until blended.
