Peppermint Meringue Cake with Chocolate ButtercreamSo the photo above was on the cover of the December Bon Appetit. I thought it looked good and I was looking for something to do, so I decided to make one. Several comments:
1. It cost a fortune to buy all the ingredients and it would appear that the government run liquor stores in Quebec don't carry peppermint schnapps. I used a little extra peppermint extract in its place.
2. It took a long time (I did it over two days)
3. I skipped the decoration/garnish on the top as it seemed unnecessary
4. It was pretty good anyway
