     Deep Dark Chocolate Peppermint Cake

Category   Desserts - Breads
Sub Category   None
Servings   12
Preptime   3 hours

Ingredients
2 c sifted cake flour
3/4 tsp salt
4oz semisweet chocolate
1/4 c butter
2 c white sugar
2 egg yolks, beaten
1 3/4 c milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda
 
1 recipe Seven Minute Frosting
1/2 c crushed peppermint hard candies
3 drops red food coloring

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line the bottom(s) of two 9" square pans, two 9" round pans, or one 9 x 13 inch pan with parchment paper. Sift together cake flour and salt. Melt chocolate and shortening together in a double boiler.
Turn into mixing bowl, and cool to room temperature; this mixture must be cool. Mix in sugar. Blend in egg yolks and 1 cup milk. Add flour and salt, and mix just until all flour is dampened. Beat batter with electric mixer for 1 minute, and then
blend in vanilla and 1/2 cup milk. Dissolve soda in remaining 1/4 cup milk; stir into batter quickly, thoroughly. Pour batter into prepared pan(s). Bake in 9 x 13" pan for about 45 minutes, or in two 9" pans for about 30 minutes. Test for doneness by
pressing lightly on cake; it should spring back when done. Prepare Seven Minute Frosting, omitting vanilla. Tint frosting a delicate pink with a few drops of food coloring, add 1/4 cup crushed candy. Frost, fill cooled cake. Garnish w/ candy bits.
