#Hot chocolate sparrow how to
If you’ve never attempted buttercream stripes before, here’s a post that will show you how to create them. You’ll need a good cake comb ( here’s the one I use) and red food color gel to get this striped finish. Not only do the red and white stripes make me think of peppermint, they’re iconic of the Holidays. It’s been awhile since I’ve made a striped buttercream cake but I just had to with this one. To use all marshmallow creme as the filling, be sure to follow the method for soft fillings in this blog post to ensure it doesn’t squish out between your cake layers. If you’d rather use all marshmallow creme as the filling or all peppermint buttercream, go for it! You can’t go wrong with these flavors. It will look like a bullseye when you’re finished, but it’ll be striped when you cut the slices. I think it’s such a fun touch! You can get this look with your filling by piping alternating circles – first peppermint buttercream, then marshmallow creme, then repeat until you reach the center of the cake. Now let’s talk about this striped filling, because just look at it! I alternated adding peppermint buttercream (tinted red) and store bought marshmallow creme to create this striped effect when you cut into it.
After trying lots of peppermint buttercream recipes that tasted like toothpaste, I was very intentional in the amount of peppermint extract I added. The buttercream gives it just the right amount of peppermint flavor.
It’s moist, decadent, and pairs perfectly with the peppermint buttercream and marshmallow creme. It all starts with my favorite one-bowl chocolate cake recipe, only I’ve infused it with hot cocoa to give it the perfect flavor. If you love a peppermint hot cocoa at your local coffee shop, you’ll be obsessed with this cake. It’s the perfect blend of festive flavors and makes an eye-catching centerpiece for your Holiday dessert table! Hot cocoa is such a cozy drink on it’s own, but when you add peppermint, it basically becomes a cup of Holiday cheer! Now, imagine those flavors in cake form: layers of hot cocoa infused chocolate cake, peppermint buttercream, and some marshmallow creme filling to bring it all together.
