-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 18.25 Oz Pkg White Cake Mix
3 Egg Whites
1 1/3 Cups Buttermilk
2 Tablespoons Vegtable Oil
1 9 Oz Pkg Yellow Cake Mix*
1/2 Cup Buttermilk
1 Large Egg
1 1/2 Tablespoons Cocoa
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
2 Tablespoons Red Food Coloring (Liquid)
1 Teaspoon Cider Vinegar

Holiday Trees,
6 5 Inch Green Candy Canes -- Broken
12 Round peppermint candies

* Beat the first four 4 ingredients according to cakemix pkg. directions.

* Spread Peppermint Cream Cheese Frosting between the layers & on top of the cake. (Cake may be chilled up to 2 days or frozen up to 1 month.) Garnish, if desired. Serve within 2 hours.
Prep: 15 minutes.
Bake: 22 to 25 minutes

* 1 3/4 cups yellow cake mix may be substituted.

NOTE:
For testing purposes only, we used Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe White Cake Mix, Jiffy Golden Yellow Cake Mix, and McCormick Red Food Color.
If cake is frozen, thaw completely before garnishing to prevent crushed candy from running. Do not refrigerate after garnishing.

Peppermint Cream Cheese Frosting:

1 (8 ounce) pkg cream cheese, softened
1 cup butter or margaring, softened
1 (2 pound) pkg. powdered sugar
2 teaspoons peppermint extract

*Beat cream cheese & butter at medium speed until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating at low speed until smooth. Add extract, beating until blended.
For quick peppermint frosting, stir together 3 (16 oz) containers ready-to-spread cream cheese frosting & 2 teaspoons peppermint extract.
