White Hot Chocolate Peppermint Bundt

I am with #BundtBakers today and hosting!! I came up with a cool theme I thought, of Hot Chocolate for this month’s bundts. What do you put in your hot chocolate?

Does it get spiked, is it white or milk chocolate, do you make it from scratch, add in shaved chocolate, cinnamon, marshmallows, candy canes? The list can go on and on.

I came to a White Hot Chocolate Peppermint Bundt as my choice for today and it turned out pretty and delicious!!

I made this bundt a bit different than I normally do and went more for a pound cake than the usual lighter cake I make. My daughter is on her second piece already for a after school treat, she is loving it.

The cake is very dense and buttery and stood up nicely to the addition of white hot chocolate and peppermint. The icing is light and if you really like peppermint you can add some to the icing too.

I left it with just the white-hot chocolate as it is subtle and you get the addition of the peppermint with the candy canes on top!

This would make a great celebration bundt for the holidays. Of course, it can be made ahead of time and it is also easily portable. Everyone young and old would love this.

It has a wonderfully buttery finish with hints of peppermint and white hot chocolate, neither being too overpowering.

Grab your bundt pan and whip up this pretty bundt, you and whoever you share with will be very happy!!
