Peppermint Pound Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 sticks butter
2/3 c. sugar
6 eggs
3 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
6 small sticks peppermint candy, crushed into powder

Preparation

Cream butter and sugar.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.
Add flour and baking powder alternately with milk; beat well after each addition.
Add vanilla; beat.
Pour 1/3 of batter and crushed candy in separate bowl; stir well.
Pour 1/2 of remaining batter into well-greased and floured tube pan.
Add peppermint batter, then add remaining batter on top of peppermint batter.

A chocolate frosting on cake goes great with taste of peppermint.
