3 eggs
1 1⁄3 cups milk
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp peppermint extract
Frosting
1 container ready-to-serve buttercream frosting
1⁄4 cup crushed candy canes
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 13- by 9-inch cake pan.
Cake: In a large mixer bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, milk, mayonnaise and peppermint extract. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a tester inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack.

Got left over candy canes? Crush ‘em up and swirl into ice cream.
Make it work year-round: Replace candy canes with hard mint candies. Yum!
