1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsps baking powder
1/2 cup milk
6 - 8 smashed candy canes or peppermint hard candies
Cream butter and sugar together, beat eggs in one at a time. Sift 1/2 flour, baking powder into the butter/sugar mixture, stir and pour in 1/4 cup of milk, stir til well blended. Repeat with last 1/2 of dry ingredients and then the rest of the milk. Stir in the candy dust.
Icing:
1/4 a block of cream cheese
~ 1 cup icing sugar
1/2 tsp peppermint flavoring
a tsp of milk if needed
Cream sugar and cheese together and add a sniff of milk if you like it runnier.
Pour into an 8x8 cake tin, or a round cake tin. Bake for 35 minutes at 350 or until toothpick comes out clean.
Notes:
Remember that parchment paper is your friend. Use some!
Peppermint flavor is nice in the icing but perhaps a white chocolate flavoring or chocolate icing would be better.
Edges were a bit too well done at this temp. Perhaps 300?
