Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
Add milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.

Stir in boiling water and peppermint extract. The batter will be thin.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in powdered sugar until smooth.

Spread the frosting over the cooled cake and sprinkle crushed peppermint candies on top.
-
Let the cake rest for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to develop.
