This Peppermint angel food cake is the most simple candy cane dessert you could make this season. You can use a homemade cake, a store bought cake, or a mix – this Peppermint angel food cake is super light. It’s also ridiculously simple and delicious.

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.

My friend left this life almost a year ago and as I was whipping up this cake I couldn’t help but feel a little emotional.

So no, this cake isn’t the most amazing, original cake you’ll ever put in your mouth, but it was fun to make and reminisce about my sweet friend.

    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?
