Notes
For these soft peppermint cakes, I love whisking in a touch of goat milk because it makes the yogurt frosting silky without adding heaviness –the probiotic goat milk I use for creamy holiday frostings.
Cold batter can get thick fast, so I usually mix with the silicone spatula that keeps everything smooth.
