Easy Christmas Dessert.....

I have made this cake twice this holiday season.  It's always

a winner and is super easy, plus it feeds a crowd. I originally

posted the recipe last December but thought it was

worthy to repost.  Don't be confused, the photos

are also from last Christmas {taken with my

50mm lens which I dropped and broke

about three months ago - boo!} I need to

replace that lens - especially after seeing these photos.

1 package devil's food cake mix

1/2 cup sugar

1 package {4 ounce} instant chocolate pudding mix

4 eggs

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 {8 ounce} container of sour cream

1 teaspoon peppermint extract

1 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup coarsely crushed hard peppermint candies

Heavily grease and flour a 12 cup bundt pan and set aside.  Combine first seven

ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat at low speed until combined.  Pour mixture in 

prepared bundt pan and bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or till a toothpick

inserted in the center comes out clean.  Cool pan for 15 minutes then remove cake

from pan and cool entirely on wire rack.

For frosting, stir together powdered sugar and enough milk to make a dribbling

glaze consistency.  Drizzle frosting over cake and sprinkle with peppermint candies.
