Cake #92 - Peppermint Chocolate Cake


Friends First Friday Cake - Peppermint Chocolate Cake.

For all Finnish heavy metal singers who have recorded new and traditional Christmas carols - Christmas baking is even more enjoyable when I listen to your voices. You are all stars!

I was excited to read that a new collection of these heavy metalized Christmas carols had just come out and now I have listened to it dozens of times already. It is called Ragnarok Juletid. 

This Finnish Christmas carol is one of my absolute favourites - first time I hear it translated into English!
