Instructions
- In the mixing bowl of a Stand Mixer, mix the Eggs, Sugar, Vanilla, and Peppermint until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, mix the Flour, Baking Powder, Salt, and Powdered Sugar, until well blended.
- Add the flour mixture in the mixing bowl, alternating with the Milk, mixing between additions, until all flour and milk is added, and smooth.
- Add the Sour Cream, Heavy Whipping Cream, and Vegetable Oil, and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Add about 10 - 12 drops of the Red Food Coloring into the mixing bowl, and mix until blended.
- Add more Food Coloring if needed, until you get a bright red-colored cake batter.
- Grease and Flour an 8 X 11-inch dish, and pour the cake batter into the dish. Place the dish in the oven at 350 degrees, for 45 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the dish from the oven to a wire rack to cool.
- Pour Sprinkle Mix out on a Cookie sheet with edges, and break Peppermint Candy Canes into crumbs, and add to Sprinkles - to sprinkle on top of Truffles.
- When Cake is cool, take a spoon and break the cake up into crumbs, breaking apart with your fingers, until you have crumbs.
- Add the can of Pink Frosting, and the Mini Chocolate Chips, and stir all together, until well mixed.
- Melt 2 cups of Milk Chocolate in the Microwave, in a medium bowl. If the chocolate gets too thick, add milk, and stir well to thin.
- Roll the cake mixture into small balls, and place the ball on a fork, and dip into the chocolate, and place on Parchment Paper, and immediately Sprinkle with Sprinkle Mix.
- Allow Chocolate to set, or harden, for about an hour.
- Place on a tray, or festive plate, serve, and Enjoy!
