The winter holidays are upon us, and for me, there’s no better flavor combo than chocolate and peppermint. There’s just something so magical about the combination of rich, dark chocolate and cool, sweet mint. It takes me right back to my childhood! Around this time of year, we love to entertain. If you have a crowd to serve, a bundt cake is a great way to treat your guests. They look stunning and require minimal effort. This version is moist and deeply chocolate-y, with a hint of wintry mint and a gorgeous chocolate ganache drizzle. It will be the centerpiece of your dessert table! Start by combining the dry ingredients in the bowl of your KitchenAid® Stand Mixer fitted with the flat beater. Stir the flours, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt together on low speed. Add the soft butter. Mix on low speed for a minute or two, just until the mixture resembles damp sand. Next, in go the eggs. Once the mixture looks smooth and combined, add the Greek yogurt, vanilla, and peppermint extract.

The aromas are intoxicating! Transfer the thick, fluffy batter to a lightly greased bundt pan, and bake in your KitchenAid® Gas Convection Slide-In Range until a tester inserted into the thickest part of the cake comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Once the cake is turned out of the pan and cooled, you can start on the topping. Heat the cream in a saucepan from the KitchenAid® Stainless Steel 10-Piece Set until it’s just barely simmering. Pour it over the chopped chocolate and stir until smooth and glossy. Then just drizzle the ganache all over your chocolate peppermint bundt cake, and garnish with crushed candy canes, for a presentation that’s perfectly fun and festive!
