This easy little cake will not disappoint. We enjoyed it for breakfast & dessert and I loved the hint of peppermint that you would taste. Sadly, I don’t have a picture of the inside, but it has a cute red swirl running through it. It’s a great thing to take to all of those Christmas parties that are filling up your calendar!
