This divine, grain free, honey-sweetened, minty chocolate peppermint cake will make you fall out of your chair. Not only is it decadent, fresh, and creamy, it’s good for you! Packed with nourishing healthy fats and made without grains and sugar/artificial sweetener, Marillyn’s chocolate peppermint cake is a luxurious and healthy desert.
“Cool, creamy, minty, rich and so nourishing… this cake is simply divine, easy to make, loaded with healthy fats & protein and deliciously grain-free.
Plus, everything about this cake is, well… minty. The cake is minty, the frosty is minty and crushed peppermints topping it off, making it literally a “merry” minty cake.
I had so much fun making this cake… and eating the leftover frosting with crushed peppermints on a bigspoon.
Oh, yes I did do that. Yum.
My mouth just tingles thinking about it!
I have to tell you that this frosting only requires THREE ingredients… butter, chocolate chips and peppermint extract. Or for those who need it to be dairy-free… thick full-fat coconut milk, chocolate chips (Enjoy Life is dairy-free) and peppermint extract.
Can you believe that?! Totally fail-proofed and guaranteed to whip up beautifully, oh yesss. That’s my kind of frosting.
To be honest, I typically shy away from making cakes and frostings. They never seem to turn out well for me, but I wanted to give it a go this time around because…
It was for my little man’s 3rd birthday.
I had to try!
My girls’ had lovely rainbow cupcakes for their birthdays this year and I didn’t want him to feel that he wasn’t special enough to have a cake too.
Plus, I am a baker, for crying out loud! I should be able to make a cake… and frosting!
Anyway…
He was so excited to have a birthday cake. He kept running up to me and saying, “that’s MY birthday cake!” and “that birthday cake is for ME!“… then his face would light up with that adorable grin of his that simply melts my heart and I am so sure it will melt the hearts of many young latina girls in the not-so-distance future!”
