Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the pancake mix, cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla and 4 cups water. Whisk until just combined -- a few small lumps left is just fine.
- Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil to the pan and swirl to coat evenly. Add about 2 cups of batter to the pan to make the first pancake. Cook for 6 minutes on the first side, adjusting the heat as needed to cook gently without burning. When small bubbles start to burst on the surface, sprinkle over a few chocolate chips and slide the pancake onto a flat plate. Place the pan over the plate and flip the pancake back into the pan. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove the pancake to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Continue with the remaining batter, going down by about 1/2 cup or 1/4 cup for each pancake. When the pancakes get small enough, feel free to simply flip with a spatula. You should end up with about 8 pancakes.
- Place the cream cheese, butter, sugar, peppermint extract, salt and milk in a large bowl. Beat with a handheld mixer on medium speed until fully combined and light and fluffy, 3 minutes. Set aside.
- Place the largest pancake on a flat cake stand. Spread some of the frosting over the top of the pancake, leaving a 1/3-inch border on the outside. Sprinkle with some of the crushed candy canes. Continue stacking the pancakes with the frosting and the candy canes, going down in size as you stack. Insert a long skewer through the center of the cake to hold the layers in place. Trim the skewer so that the top is flush with the top of the cake, and cover with more frosting. Decorate with mini meringue cookies on top if desired.

Steps:
- Gather the cake ingredients.
- Position two racks in the upper and lower third of the oven. Heat the oven to 350 F. Line 3 (8-inch) cake pan bottoms with parchment paper Spray the parchment and the sides of the pans with cooking spray.
- Add the butter and both sugars to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and continue to beat until combined, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl occasionally.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- With the mixer running on low, add 1/4 of the sifted flour mixture and continue beating until well combined.
- Add 1/3 of the buttermilk and continue beating until well combined. Continue alternating mixing in the flour and buttermilk, ending with the flour, beating well after each addition.
- Divide the batter evenly between the pans, smoothing the tops. Bake, rotating the pan half way through until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean, 22 to 26 minutes (you may need to bake the cakes separately if your oven can't fit all three cakes simultaneously). Cool completely. To Make the Frosting and Assemble:
- Gather the frosting ingredients.
- Combine the egg whites, confectioners' sugar, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix together on low speed, until the sugar is moistened and no dry patches remain. Turn off the mixer. With a silicone spatula, scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. With the mixer on medium speed, beat until well combined, about 5 minutes.
- Turn the mixer to medium-low. With the machine running, add the softened butter 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, beating until completely combined before adding more.
- When all the butter is incorporated, stir in the vanilla extract and peppermint extract. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Turn the speed to medium and beat the buttercream until smooth and creamy, about 10 minutes.
- Divide the buttercream evenly into two large bowls. Add the melted chocolate to one bowl, folding together with a silicone spatula. Add the candy cane pieces to the second bowl, folding together with a clean silicone spatula.
- To assemble the cake, place 1 layer on a cake cardboard, and transfer to a cake turntable, if available. Scoop half of the candy cane frosting on top of the cake, and spread it into an even layer.
- Place a second cake layer on top of the frosting, and spread the remaining candy cane frosting on top of the cake. Finally, add the third cake layer on top.
- Spread a very thin layer of chocolate frosting all over the top and sides of the cake-this is the "crumb coat," to lock any stray crumbs to the cake. Refrigerate the cake briefly, for about 30 minutes, so the crumb coat can firm up.
- Spread a thicker layer of frosting along the top and sides of the cake. It doesn't have to be perfectly smooth, because the imperfections will be covered up with the chocolate sprinkles or curls (leave some of the chocolate frosting for decorating the top of the cake).
- Place the chocolate sprinkles or curls in a large shallow pie tin or bowl. Hold the cake in one hand, keeping it over the pie tin, and use the other hand to scoop up handfuls of chocolate sprinkles and press them into the sides of the cake, letting the excess drop back into the bowl.
- Transfer the reserved chocolate frosting to a pastry bag fitted with a star tip.
- Pipe rosettes of frosting all along the outer edge of the cake. Press a mini candy cane into each rosette and serve.

MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH CRUSHED CANDY CANES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Melt 1/4 a stick of butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Paint the inside of 6 ramekins or aluminum souffle cups with butter. Coat the inside of each ramekin with granulated sugar. Reserve.
- Put the remaining stick of butter and chocolate chips in a large mixing bowl. Set the bowl on a saucepan filled with about 1-inch of boiling water. Be sure that the bowl is not touching the water. Gently stir the butter and the chocolate together until melted and the mixture is smooth. Turn off the heat and reserve.
- Combine the eggs, yolks, sugar and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer. (This can also be done with a hand beater.) Beat the egg mixture until it doubles in size, and gets very thick and very pale.
- Gently whisk the melted chocolate and butter into the egg mixture. Remove the bowl from the mixer and gently stir in the flour. Pour the batter into the prepared ramekins. Arrange the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 14 to 15 minutes. Remove the cakes from the oven and let rest for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Remove the cakes from the ramekins, and arrange them on individual serving plates. Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with crushed candy cane.
- HOHOHOHOHO!!!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line three 8-inch round baking pan with parchment paper and/or spray well with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. (See notes.)
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt together to combine. Set aside. In a liquid measuring cup, stir buttermilk, vanilla and instant coffee granules (if using) together. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, mix oil and sugar together until combined. Mix in eggs and egg white, one at a time, until mixture becomes lighter in color, about 90 seconds.
- Alternate adding in flour mixture with milk mixture, being sure to start and end with flour. Scrape the sides and mix again to ensure a smooth batter.
- Divide evenly between baking pans and smooth the top. Bake 22-30 minutes in the lower 2/3rds of the oven. If you're using two cake pans instead of three, you will need to bake this cake 28-35 minutes. Cake will be done when a toothpick comes out clean or mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. Cool 15-20 minutes in cake pans before trying to invert on cooling racks. Once you can handle the warm pans with your bare hands, you can flip them out. Cool completely before frosting and decorating.
- See recipe notes for how much frosting you will need to make. In a large bowl, measure and add butter, powdered sugar, salt, vanilla and peppermint extract. Stir with beaters on low (or paddle attachment on stand mixer) to mix and break up the butter. It will still be very powdery and dry. Slowly add in the heavy cream. Once you notice the frosting start to come together stop adding the cream. You may need to add more than the amount listed. This is also normal. Increase mixer speed to medium to get rid of any lumps and create a smooth frosting. Scrape the sides and the bottom of the bowl and mix again to ensure a completely smooth frosting. Peppermint frosting will be done when it can hold its shape, but you can easily move a butter knife through it. If it's too thick, add more cream and mix. If you've added too much cream and the frosting is too soft, add more powdered sugar. If you notice there are a lot of air bubbles in your frosting, use a large wooden spoon to beat a lot of the air out of the frosting by hand.
- Frost the cake by layering cake with frosting and crushed candy canes in between each of the three layers, then doing a crumb coating (a thin coating of peppermint frosting around the entire cake) and freezing for 15 minutes before adding the final layer of frosting. You will still see some of the chocolate cake edges because the cake is darker than the frosting, but this is totally normal. Nothing to worry about! Add crushed candy canes to the bottom half of the cake and top. Finish off with rosettes or dollops of frosting around the top. Cut into pieces and enjoy!

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease your pan and lightly flour it with a couple tablespoons of cocoa powder. (Alternatively, grease a 9x13 pan or prepare (24) cupcake liners.)

Slowly pour in the boiling water and continue stirring to combine. The batter should be very thin and watery. Pour into prepared bundt pan or divide between two round pans or cupcake holders.
- Bake the bundt cake for 35-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. A 9x13 pan will bake in 30-35 minutes and cupcakes will bake in 22-24 minutes. Cool completely.
- To make the icing, combine the powdered sugar, milk, and peppermint extract in a small bowl. Whisk together until smooth. The glaze should pour off the spoon in a thick white stream. Add a teaspoon more milk to thin it, or 1-2 tablespoons more powdered sugar to thicken it, if necessary. Drizzle the glaze over the cake. Sprinkle with crushed candy canes. Store at room temperature, loosely covered, preferably not airtight. This cake will keep nicely and stay very moist for 3-4 days. Enjoy!
