Print Recipe

A festive, aromatic wreath-shaped cake combining rich mocha flavors with refreshing peppermint, perfect for holiday celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
  • Crushed peppermint candies for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a wreath-shaped bundt pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla and peppermint extracts.
  5. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Slowly pour in the cooled brewed coffee and gently fold into the batter.
  7. Pour batter evenly into the prepared wreath pan, smoothing the top.
  8. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Mix powdered sugar and milk to make glaze. Drizzle glaze over the cooled cake.
  11. Sprinkle crushed peppermint candies on top of the glaze for decoration.

Notes

For a stronger peppermint flavor, increase peppermint extract to 3/4 teaspoon. Use strong brewed coffee for best mocha taste. Allow cake to cool fully before glazing to prevent glaze from melting.
