Today’s lovely guest foodie makes me want to burst into song every time I see her blog name. I bet she brings out the inner Maria in most of y’all, too. Welcome, Kierste!
Hello everyone! I’m Kierste, the girl from {brown paper packages}, and I am delighted to be a part of this fabulous series! One of my favorite combinations is chocolate and peppermint, and this recipe is an absolutely delicious way to enjoy it. The presentation is absolutely beautiful, and it’s perfect for any holiday party–and showing off your baking skills!The richness of the chocolate cake is perfectly paired with the light creaminess of the peppermint filling, and who can resist a delicious chocolate glaze? If you’re short on time, consider serving them as brownies instead–frost the cake with the filling, then spread the glaze on top. (You might want to double the glaze.)
This recipe is similar to one my family has been making for years at Christmas, the Buche de Noel or Yule Log. We use liquer and heavy whipping cream in the middle. Instead of a glaze, we use chocolate frosting, with a fork through and nuts to make it look like a log. It’s delicious.
That sounds amazingly decadent and fantastic!
I’m loving your holiday themed posts! This one looks amazing!
OMG. This looks so delicious. I know my cowboy would die to have it!
