Easy Candy Cane Cake Recipe

This is week 3 in my series of peppermint themed recipes! We have enjoyed making and eating all of these yummy treats and your comments, pins, tweets and other social shares show me that you are liking them too. In case you have missed any of the previous recipes… we started with Peppermint Chocolate Chip Fudge on week one. Week two was Peppermint Bark Brownies and now we have Candy Cane Cake! I’m getting hungry just typing this. Again, I found this week’s recipe on Pinterest it is a Betty Crocker recipe, so you know it will be good!

I barely got a bite of this cake! We brought half of it to our neighbors whose chickens provide us with eggs year round. The other half I brought down to my parent’s house and my dad and nephew devoured it! I did get a few bits and it was yummy. I might make this for the church Christmas party but…knowing me I’ll be trying out another new recipe on mu unsuspecting church family 🙂
