Chocolate Fudge Peppermint Ooey Gooey Butter Cake
 Chocolate Fudge Peppermint Ooey Gooey Butter Cake I’ve had this cake in head since last Christmas only never had time to make it. I had a Christmas party to go to last night and decided now was the time. It’s way past time I made a new ooey gooey butter cake. These cakes are easy to make, they start with a box cake mix that you add an egg, water and a 1/2 cup of melted butter to. Pat it out in a greased pan. Then mix together the cream cheese, condensed sweetened milk, 2 eggs, vanilla and 8 oz. of candy canes. I used the soft candy canes that come in a bag. These came in 5 oz. bags and I used half of the second bag. I crushed them in the food processor. You want to do it in small batches or the dust will harden around the edges of the food processor bowl. Fold them in after you have mixed up the cream cheese mixture. This recipe makes a 9 x 13 pan. I can’t get one in my oven so I used 7 x 11. I used all of the cake batter part and all of the cream cheese mixture but just 1 cup. You can see how high it baked in the pan. I also decided to check the temperature of the cake when it was done. Because of the density of these ooey gooey cakes it can sometimes be difficult to tell when they are done. They are done when they reach 210 degrees on a digital thermometer. Then the mixture will fall in the center as it cools. Fill with whipped topping or whipped cream. Cut this cake in small squares to serve. It’s very rich.
