Peppermint Angel Food Cake
You might look at my recipe below and think, “Kaylynn, are you kidding me?” I mean, it’s an angel food cake with peppermint whipped cream. Not a whole lot to it, but this recipe has some sentimental value to it. I worked with a very dear friend at Hillcrest – she made it a few years ago and I fell in LOVE with it. Mostly, I loved that it wasn’t super difficult. And again, I love peppermint.

Got any leftovers?! I would LOVE to try that! It looks so light and fluffy.. which makes me think of “It’s so fluffy I could DIE!” Hahah! Have you ever seen Despicable Me? Please tell me yes.
My candies melted into one big blob that wouldn’t dissolve. Any tips or ideas as to what I did wrong?
Sandy – are you referring to the crushed peppermint that goes in the frosting?
