Chocolate Peppermint Bundt Cake

December 3, 2013 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 34 Comments

It’s Christmas time and as many of you regular readers know, I’m a huge peppermint fan. So per my pattern of obsessive behavior, here’s another: Chocolate Peppermint Bundt Cake.

I tend to think everyone needs a few easy and elegant dessert options, especially now in the thick of  holiday crazy. And no, I’m not complaining. I love all the holiday madness. It comes once a year and I look forward to it starting in September.

My only fail so far this season has been when the little guy came to my room and asked me, “Ready for our hot chocolate and Christmas movie, Mom?” Well, my answer of “tomorrow” turned into three days later. Awesome mom fail #200-and-something.

Thankfully, I’ve made it up to him by now and we’ve been enjoying holiday tradition ever since. Although, I usually throw dessert in with mine–and why not? I’m pregnant, so eating for two is in full force (okay, so I don’t really need that excuse other than to justify my extra helping).

    I’ve got cupboards stocked full of peppermint candy – and now I know what to do with some of them (besides just eat them from the pack, of course). Looks stunning! 🙂

    Okay, what am I missing here? The links all go to a recipe for malted chocolate cake. What adjustments are we making to create the chocolate peppermint cake? Wouldn’t just leaving out the malted milk powder affect the cake? Do we add peppermint extract to the cake? Help!

  24. Naomi Robinson says

    December 5, 2013 at 1:24 pm

    Catherine – you are not missing anything. 🙂 The link goes to a chocolate cake recipe I used as the base. The malted milk powder is not left out, it’s there. The crushed malted milk chocolate balls were omitted and replaced with the crushed peppermint candy.

    Take a look at this post – I provide tips and tricks for the recipe here: http://www.bhg.com/blogs/delish-dish/2013/12/02/chocolate-peppermint-bundt-cake/

  25. Kati says

    December 6, 2013 at 11:37 am

    This looks delicious! What is malted milk powder & how is it different to regular milk powder? Can I substitute the 2? I have regular milk powder in the house already & have no clue where to look for malted milk powder. Suggestions?

  26. Catherine says

    December 12, 2013 at 9:44 am

    I made the cake for a Christmas party last night and it was a huge hit. My husband just told me it’s even better today. Thanks for the great recipe!

  27. Peggy says

    December 17, 2013 at 8:14 am

    I’m making the Chocolate Peppermint Cake. 🙂 Can I just leave out the malted milk powder? Is it for flavor or is it necessary for the cake to turn out right? If so can something else be substituted?

    So do I have to be pregnant to be able to eat double of this cake? Looks amazing, so rich and flavorful! Thank you for sharing 🙂

  29. Adi says

    January 15, 2014 at 12:50 pm

    My local small town grocery and WM both carry Carnation Malted Milk Powder. You can find it online on the Walmart site if you can’t get it local. I also use it in a chick-fil-a chicken clone recipe. It’s under $4 a jar.

Need an easy recipe that helps prevent food waste, Need an easy recipe that helps prevent food waste, and saves you time and money? What about a chance to win a $500 Walmart giftcard? I've got you covered then. 

This Kale and Sausage Strata is the kind of dish that uses up all those bits and pieces in the refrigerator. This means dig through the crispier and let’s make the most of what’s in there. For what you see here, I threw in two handfuls of kale, 2 cups sausage, some mushrooms and cheese. All things that came together for one cohesive dish. To boost the flavor, I used Morton® Coarse Kosher Salt because its coarse flakes makes it easy to pinch and allows me full control when seasoning a dish.
 
Yay, to doing more with Morton. 

Now I have a challenge for you. Join me and let's #erasefoodwaste. While you are at it, you can also enter @mortonsalt sweepstakes and win a $500 Walmart gift card or other Morton goodies! 
Rules for entry are: 
• Share your no food waste recipe, tag @MortonSalt and use the #DoMoreWithMortonSweepstakes hashtag. 
• Must follow @MortonSalt on IG to participate. Good luck!
