Get ready for a tasty treat with this Gluten Free Peppermint Mocha Cake!
The holidays bring out the baking magic, right? The only time of the year where I feel like I am eating, sleeping, and dreaming about baking is this time of year!
One thing I love to make during the holiday season are cakes, lots of cakes. No, I am not a cake decorator so I stick to more of the coffee cake style of cakes.
Recently, I remembered a recipe on my blog for Mocha Cupcakes then thought those would be delicious made into a bundt cake with Peppermint chunks and icing.
I mean Peppermint Mocha is one of my favorite drinks right now, so I may as well enjoy a slice of Peppermint Mocha Cake too, right?
Do you use brewed coffee in Gluten Free Peppermint Mocha Cake?
The main feature of this cake is the coffee that is in it. I love using brewed coffee in recipes, which is exactly what I did in this cake.
This cake can be used as a dessert or an appetizer such as a coffee cake alongside a cup of coffee.
