Peppermint hi-hat cake
Cakes
A single, tall devil’s food cake is topped with an almost equally tall mound of peppermint 7-minute frosting. After a brief chill in the fridge, it’s doused in an all-over layer of thin milk chocolate glaze, that sets up like magic shell. You can toss a little crushed peppermint candy around the base to give a clue as to what’s inside—but this is one of those cakes that impresses even more once it’s sliced! Recipe adapted from the Peppermint Hi-Hat Cupcakes in my book, <em>The Fearless Baker</em> (Rux Martin/Houghton Mifflin Harcourt).
