My favorite Christmas Cookies are Spritz, but because I don't have a cookie press up at school to make the shapes that are so pretty, I'm going to share this delicious cake recipe instead. The picture is from an awesome blog that posted a version of the recipe-- also, I'm not as artistic of a photographer, and I thought it was just really cool! This cake is a Peppermint Fudge Poke Cake (but her blog calls it Better than...Christmas Cake which I thought was cute).
Ingredients:
1 box Betty Crocker Chocolate Cake
(take your pick.. I chose Triple Chocolate Fudge)
1 1/2 cups crushed oreos
1 1/8 cups Coffeemate Peppermint Mocha Creamer
1 jar of sundae fudge
(I used a normal size jar of Smuckers fudge)
1 14oz can of sweetened condensed milk
1 container of Cool Whip
*Also, make sure you have the ingredients on the back of the cake box-- eggs, vegetable oil, water
Let's get Baking!
To start, bake your cake according to the directions. I would have made a homemade chocolate cake, but Betty Crocker was much more in my price range! Once your cake is baked let it cool (in the pan).
In a bowl mix together the sweetened condensed milk and 1 cup of the peppermint creamer. Pour the mixture over the cake filling each of the holes.
Next, in the same bowl (so don't rinse it out!) mix together the jar of fudge, the remainder of the peppermint creamer (1/8 cup) and 1/2 cup of your crushed oreos. Spread it as evenly as possible over the top of the cake.
Spread your container of CoolWhip over the top of the cake like frosting and then sprinkle the remainder of your oreos over the top. Some recipes say to also crush some peppermints and put them on top... I didn't have any peppermints.
Let your cake set in the fridge for 4-6 hours and then serve!
As you can see, my pictures aren't nearly as awesome as Something Swanky's. If you'd like to check out her blog, click HERE. She's got all kinds of great recipes, and check out the awesome pictures she has of her version of the cake!
Happy 3rd Day of Advent.
