Peppermint Sugar Cookie Cake: A moist white cake, LOADED with delectable crumbled cookie frosting and crunchy peppermint candies! 

Peppermint Sugar Cookie Cake

Last year, we made a Peppermint Mocha Crunch Cake that made THOUSANDS of you extremely happy! So this year we wanted to recreate it with a twist, and I’m so glad that we did. The addition of crumbled sugar cookies in to the center frosting make my taste buds swoon!

Seasonal Coffee

With fun flavors of International Delight® hitting shelves this holiday season at Walmart, I love using it to spiff up my morning coffee. I don’t know what it is, but starting out my day with a seasonal flavor in my coffee just sets the tone for the day! (Starting my day off with a seasonal creamer is a HUGE part of who I am. So much so, that I even mention it in my “About Me” page.) I love having a fun selection of seasonal creamers on hand to offer guests when they come over for the holiday too. It makes me feel like I’ve made their visit a little more special!

The International Delight® Frosted Sugar Cookie and the International Delight REESE’S Peanut Butter Cup Creamer were calling my name from the store shelves this year. As soon as I got home, I had my first seasonal coffee! Because why not stir liquid holiday cheer into your coffee?

The Frosted Sugar Cookie, has the sweet taste of home in a rich, creamy swirl inspired by cookies & frosting. The REESE’S Peanut Butter Cup Creamer was a must have… because really… is there a REESE’S Peanut Butter Cup in your mug? There should be.

I also love to use seasonal creamer in recipes as a flavor boost, like in this peppermint sugar cookie cake I’m getting ready to introduce you to! But I wanted to show you this crazy delicious recipe video first…

Flavor Boost

By substituting the water with the International Delight Frosted Sugar Cookie Creamer, it gives the cake an extra burst of flavor! If the middles of your cakes fall a bit, it’s a-ok! It just gives extra room for for a pocket of frosting when you layer them!

Sugar Cookie Frosting

In the full recipe below, you’ll see that we added more of the International Delight Frosted Sugar Cookie Creamer in to the frosting, and also crumbled sugar cookies (store bought cookies are totally fine) to some of the frosting. The creamer gives it another flavor boost, and adding the sugar cookie crumbles in to the frosting in the middle of the two cakes, gives this cake the perfect texture!

After adding the second layer of cake on, cover the entire cake with the creamer infused frosting!

Sugar Cookies

With the additional sugar cookies, you can line the bottom or the cake for decor. We also actually used the cookies as a guide when cutting for serving. Each piece had a sugar cookie garnish!

Crushed Peppermint

It wouldn’t be a holiday cake without adding the crushed peppermints to the top! They give this cake the perfect crunch!

I Hope You Enjoy It!

I absolutely love taking a box cake mix, and adding extra toppings and ingredients to really make a cake stand out. This one stands out in flavor and looks!

I so hope you enjoy it, and would love to hear if you made this for a celebration or an event! Let me know below in the comments. We like how you party™.
