Ingredients
For the Cake Batter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup HERSHEY’S Natural Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup buttermilk
- ½ cup strong black coffee
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ½ teaspoon pure peppermint extract
For the Ganache
- 1 cup HERSHEY’S SPECIAL DARK Baking Chips
- 6 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- ¼ teaspoon pure peppermint extract
- Crushed candy canes
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F. Spray the wells of a mini Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray with flour. This type of baking spray will ensure that your mini Bundt cakes release from the pan with ease.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, HERSHEY’S Natural Unsweetened Cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- Add eggs, buttermilk, coffee, oil and peppermint extract. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for about two minutes; the batter will be thin.
- Pour batter evenly into prepared mini Bundt cake wells; filling each well about 3/4 of the way full.
- Bake in preheated oven for 16-20 minutes, or until wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Cool 5 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks. Cool completely.
- To Make the Ganache: Place HERSHEY’S SPECIAL DARK Baking Chips in a heatproof bowl. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the heavy cream until it simmers. Do not allow the mixture to boil, or you could potentially have a mess on your hands.
- Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and allow it to sit for about 2 minutes. Whisk the cream and chocolate chips until a silky, smooth chocolate ganache comes together. Stir in the peppermint extract.
- Drizzle ganache over the mini Bundt cakes and top with crushed candy canes.
Notes
- Mini Bundt pans have a lot of little nooks. I find the best way to clean them is to allow them to soak in hot, soapy water for about 20 minutes. Then use the sprayer on your faucet to help release any crumbs.
