Forget fancy-pants recipes that take all
day to make. Whip up this semi-homemade cake and top with wow-mazing frosting
for a dessert that dazzles. Decorate with mini candy-canes to punch up the
adorableness of it all.

Makes 12 to 16 servings
Cake
1 package devil's food cake mix
3 eggs
1 1⁄3 cups milk
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp peppermint extract
Frosting
1 container ready-to-serve buttercream frosting
1⁄4 cup crushed candy canes
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a
13- by 9-inch cake pan.

bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, milk, mayonnaise and peppermint extract. Beat on
medium speed for 2 minutes. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake for 35
to 40 minutes or until a tester inserted in center comes out clean. Cool
completely in pan on a wire rack.
Frosting: Stir crushed
candy canes into frosting. Spread frosting over top of cake. Decorate with
whole candy canes.
Got
left over candy canes? Crush ‘em up and swirl into
ice cream.
