How to Make Peppermint Chocolate Cake

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake tin.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients (see below). Beat with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes, or until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin, spreading evenly.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Avoid overbaking to prevent dryness.
Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cool, frost and decorate as desired. Enjoy!
