Peppermint can be used in various types of cakes, mousses, truffles, and cupcakes. Bakers can use peppermint extract or candy to add flavor, and can even make a light mint mousse. Different concentrations of peppermint extract can be used for different recipes.
The different types of mint cake include chocolate or vanilla cake flavored with peppermint extract, cake topped with mint candy, and other minty desserts, such as mousses, truffles, or cupcakes. These types of treats are often available in bakeries and can even be made at home. Baking with peppermint in desserts adds an extra dimension of flavor to the pie and can be adapted to a range of recipes. Many versions of peppermint cake are flavored with extracts in various concentrations. Some bakers think peppermint and spearmint flavors are the same thing, but they’re two types of ingredients.
Chocolate peppermint cake is a popular choice, and many bakers make it by mixing a good quality peppermint extract into the cake dough. Some report the best results from using an extract that contains a high concentration of peppermint oil. This ingredient has a strong peppermint flavor and is considered a good option for rich chocolate cakes with generous amounts of filling and frosting. One possible variation on the chocolate peppermint cake is the dark chocolate cake with white chocolate peppermint filling.
Cooking with peppermint candy is an easy alternative to using peppermint extract, and many bakers say it adds just as much flavor. These types of hard candies are often crushed into small pieces and sprinkled on top of a frosted cake. Pieces of mint candy can also be mixed into the filling of a pie. Breaking down this ingredient can be done fairly quickly by sealing the candy pieces in a plastic bag and tapping them with a mallet or kitchen mallet.
Peppermint truffles are another pie option; they usually consist of freshly baked cakes mixed with icing until these two ingredients have a pasty consistency. The baker then rolls the mixture into balls and dips each one in the melted chocolate. Each batch of truffles is then placed in the refrigerator to harden the chocolate. Mint candy bits or peppermint extract can be mixed with the truffle filling, depending on different preferences.
Some bakers like to make a light mint mousse instead of a hearty baked cake. This type of dessert is typically made from unsweetened gelatin mixed with water and heated in a saucepan until it is the correct thickness. Peppermint extract, milk, and other ingredients are typically mixed with the gelatin during the cooking process. The peppermint mousse can then be shaped into small individual portions or used as a light filling for peppermint pie. Many bakers also like to garnish this light dessert with fresh mint leaves.
