Ingredients

CAKE

1 pkg (1 lb;2.25 oz) devil's food cake mix, such as Duncan Hines

1 cup sour cream

2/3 cup oil, preferably canola

3 eggs

2 tbsp peppermint liqueur, such as Peppermint Schnapps, or water

1 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

FILLING AND FROSTING

6 tbsp butter or margarine, at room temperature

2 cups confectioners' sugar

1/4 peppermint extract

2 cans (16 oz each) milk chocolate frosting

Mini chocolate-covered peppermint cream candies, such as Peppermint Patties, quarted, optional.

Directions

CAKE: Preheat oven to 350. Butter and flour 1 (8") round cake pans. In bowl at low speed beat cake mix with sour cream, oil, eggs and liqueur until just combined, about 1 minute. Increase speed to medium; beat until light and fluffy about 2 minutes. Stir in chocolate chips. Divide batter between pans. Bake 30-35 minutes or until toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean. Cool on racks 10 minutes. Remove from pans; cool completely on racks.

FILLING: In bowl with mixer on medium speed beat butter until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add sugar, 2 tbs water and peppermint extract. Beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes; refrigerate until ready to use. Assembly: Place 1 cake layer on serving plate; spread filling over cake to within 1/2" of edges. Top with remaining cake layer. Spread top and side with fristing. Garnish with peppermint candies, if desired.
