HOLIDAY PEPPERMINT CAKE

This Holiday Peppermint Cake has become a holiday favorite – we look forward to it every year! We really love that extra bit of flavor that comes from the peppermint syrup! Although we love this with white cake, you can mix it up with a chocolate cake. Make it the same way for a chocolate-mint treat your friends and family will love!
