Chocolate Candy Cane Cake

Get your cake and peppermint bark fix at the same time with this Chocolate Candy Cane Cake!

Layers of moist chocolate cake alternate with peppermint buttercream inside while pink and white candy cake strips, chocolate drip, and homemade peppermint bark decorate the outside. Serve the cake a room temperature. It may be stored at room temperature (preferable in a box or cake container) overnight.

Store the peppermint bark in an air-tight container at a cool room temperature.

Store leftovers, loosely covered in the plastic wrap, in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. Allow cake to come to room temperature before serving.

You can freeze the baked, cooled, and unfrosted cake layers. Wrap well in plastic and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw the cake layers in the refrigerator overnight before use.
