5 egg whites
1/2 tea. cream of tartar
1 (18.25 oz.) box plain chocolate fudge or
devil\s food cake mix
3/4 C. water
1/2 C. canola oil
3 egg yolks
2 tea. vanilla extract
Crushed Peppermint Buttercream
8 Tbsp. butter, room temperature
1/2 tea. peppermint extract
1 C. powdered sugar
3 1/2 C. powdered sugar
3 Tbsp. milk
1/2 C. crushed peppermint candy
Place oven rack in center of oven and heat to 325 degrees F. Set aside an ungreased 10-in. tube pan.
Place egg whites and cream of tartar in a med. mixing bowl. Beat with electric beaters on high speed until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 min. Set aside.
Place cake mix, water, oil, egg yolks and vanilla in a lrg. mixer bowl, and with same beaters (no need to clean them), blend on low speed for 1 min. Stop and scrape down bowl. Increase speed to med. and beat 2 min., scraping down bowl.
Turn the egg whites out on top of the batter and fold in with a rubber spatula until batter is light but well combined. Pour batter into the ungreased pan, smoothing top.
Bake for 60 to 65 min. or until cake springs back when lightly pressed. Remove and turn it upside down over the neck of a glass bottle. Cool 1 hour.
Remove pan from bottle and run a long, sharp knife around the edge of the cake and invert onto a rack. Then invert again onto a serving platter so that it\s right side up
Prepare Peppermint Buttercream: Place butter, peppermint extract or flavoring and 1 c. powdered sugar in a lrg. mixing bowl. Blend with electric beaters on low speed 30 seconds.
Add 2 1/2 c. sifted powdered sugar alternately with milk, 1 Tbsp. at a time, blending on low speed. Add another Tbsp. of milk if frosting seems too stiff.
Increase mixer to med. speed and beat frosting 1 min. or until light and fluffy. Fold in crushed peppermint candy. Spread over the top and sides of the cake with smooth strokes. Let cake rest 10 min., then slice and serve. (Cake also looks great without frosting; dust with sifted powdered sugar.)
