Beat on med. speed 2 minutes. Pour about 2 cups batter into pan. Pour about 1/4 c batter into small bowl: stir in food color and peppermint extract.

My guess is that the cake mix and 1/4c oil will still be in the fat perameters. Especially considering it is dessert. So it looks safe. I love candy cane/peppermint baked stuff. It sounds a lot safer than the candy cane store cookies I can't resist lately!
Cake mixes now a days seem to all have a teeny bit of milk in them. I might check the super moist versus regular white cake mix. The super moist is probably less ok than regular.

I know that Duncan Hines is a safe cake mix. You could substitute their white cake mix for it. I would think that amount of oil wouldn't be too bad. Just make sure you don't devour it on an empty stomach!

I am almost positive DH white cake mix has milk in it. Last time I checked Wal-Mart generic brand (Great Value) white cake mix was safe.
