CAKE DIRECTIONS

1.Set oven to 350 degrees. Coat two 9-inch cake pans generously with non-stick spray.

2.In a large bowl, beat one box cake mix, water, eggs, and oil per package instructions. Divide batter between two pans.

3.Bake for 29 to 33 minutes.

4.Transfer to cooling rack set on top of a baking sheet to cool completely.

5.Once cooled, use the back of a wooden spoon (or extra-large candy cane) to carefully poke holes 1-inch apart from another in both cakes. Only poke each hole half way through the cake so the crème filling will not run through.

PEPPERMINT CREME DIRECTIONS

1.In a small saucepan, combine marshmallow crème, food coloring, and peppermint extract on very low heat stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.

2.Use a rubber spatula to stir for about 3 minutes until combined and crème is smooth and pourable.

3.Carefully, drizzle the peppermint crème over the tops of each cake. Make sure the crème does not run over the sides. Use spatula to guide the crème into the poked holes.

FROSTING DIRECTIONS

1.Frost the top of one cake layer with chocolate fudge frosting.

2.Stack layers and frost entire cake with chocolate fudge frosting.

3.Top with crushed peppermint candy.
