How To Make peppermint cake rolls

  • 1
    Line 2 greased 15 in. x 10 in. x 1 in. baking pans with waxed paper. Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Divide the batter evenly into prepared pans, spreading evenly. Bake at 350 for 12 - 15 minutes or until tops spring back when lightly touched. Cool for 5 minutes.
  • 2
    Invert each cake onto a kitchen towel dusted with confectioners' sugar. Gently peel off paper. Roll up cake in the towel jelly - roll style, starting with short side. Cool completely on wire rack.

    In a small bowl, mix whipped topping and extract until blended. Unroll cakes, spread each with 1 1/2 cups peppermint mixture to within 1/2 in. of edges. Cut a small hole in the corner of a food - safe plastic bag; fill with fudge topping. Drizzle each cake with half of the fudge topping; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons crushed candies. Roll up again, without towel.
