I love this local bakery called Kneaders. I was there with Brett a few weeks ago, and they had something called a Chocolate Peppermint Cake. I am not a huge cake fan, but I LOVE peppermint. I decided it was worth a shot. Ever since that first one I have been in love with it. Brett and I both agreed that we could likely make it ourselves. We did, and here is what we came up with.
The filling in between each layer is whipped cream infused with peppermint. There is also some crushed candy cane in it as well. The top is a layer of ganache. I had never made that before, but it's much easier than one would think. I sprinkled it with crushed candy cane as well.
