Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. Butter
- 1/4 C. Flour
- 3 Large Egg Whites
- 1 C. Water
- 1/4 C. Vegetable Oil
- 1/4 tsp. Peppermint Extract
- 1 (16.5 Oz.) Box Food Club White Deluxe Cake Mix
- 2-3 Drops Red Food Coloring
- 2 (16 Oz.) Containers Food Club Vanilla Creamy Frosting
- 1/2 C. Crushed Candy Canes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Generously grease 2, 8”-round cake pans with butter, then dust with flour, tapping out any excess. Set aside.
- Whisk egg whites, water, oil, and peppermint extract in a large bowl. Add cake mix and stir until combined.
- Transfer half of batter into a separate bowl. Add food coloring, a drop at a time, mixing until desired pink color is achieved. Transfer pink batter to one prepared cake pan and white batter to the other. Bake cakes for 26 to 28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool cakes completely on a wire rack. Wrap each cake in plastic and freeze for at least 30 minutes. When chilled, use a serrated knife to divide each cake into two layers.
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat frosting until light and fluffy. Stack cake layers, frosting in between each layer, alternating between white and pink. Decorate with crushed candy.
