powder and salt; add alternately with milk to creamed mixture. Blend in
crushed candy. Pour batter into 2 greased and floured 9 inch cake pans.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before removing from
pans. Ice cake with Cocoa Peppermint Icing.

and milk, beating to a spreading consistency. Blend in vanilla and
peppermint candy. Makes about 2 1/2 cups icing or enough for an 8 or 9 inch
