    Layered Peppermint Chocolate Cake #ad #DelightfulMoments

    Layered Peppermint Chocolate Cake is the Holiday dessert your family will love. Easy to make from scratch, I promise! Wow your family with it's delicious flavor.

    Oh, the Holidays are upon us! Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner and that means family and family gatherings. Of course, that also means many memories of yesteryear.

    I don't know about you, but growing up, we didn't have to travel far for a celebration at Grandma's house. In fact, they lived right next door. On Thanksgiving or Christmas morning, we would load everyone up (er, just put our shoes on) and see who would be the first one to get inside their house. We would always enjoy the meal at Grandma's house.

    Fast forward a few years and now I am the one making the meal. Or, at least, bringing a dish to share at another family member's house.  I remember the pots boiling away on the stove and something delicious in the oven at Grandma's. I love having those memories and I want my children to have those memories of me cooking and baking in the kitchen.

    Baking does not need to be complicated. Recipes can be simple yet be stunning at the same time. Sometimes, just taking a simple recipe and adding a special twist to it can really add the "wow" factor. Like when I added International Delight® Peppermint Mocha Coffee Creamer to a simple chocolate cake recipe. I replaced the milk in the recipe with the Peppermint Mocha coffee creamer. The result was a delicious flavorful layered peppermint chocolate cake.

    Layered Peppermint Chocolate Cake #ad #DelightfulMomentsYou can get Peppermint Mocha coffee creamer at Walmart in a special display at the end of the aisle in the refrigerated section. You can also pick up other fun Holiday flavors such as Salted Caramel Mocha.

    Every morning, my husband uses International Delight® Coffee Creamers. It is his absolute favorite. Since they are always in the house, I like coming up with different ways to add the creamers to my recipes. It's two for one. He can enjoy them in his morning cup of coffee and I can add a twist to a recipe. The Peppermint Mocha creamer is just what he needs to get into the holiday spirit.

    Of course, drinking a cup of coffee with this peppermint cake would be quite nice as well. :-)
