I just made this for the first time and it seems much flatter than I expected (2-3 inches high instead of the 4-5 I was expecting). I used a 10" bundt pan and followed the recipe. Could I have done something wrong? I'm taking it to a meeting tonight and I don't want to serve it if I messed it up somehow.
Also, do you find peppermint extract somewhere in bulk? One recipe used half a bottle! I normally never go through ingredients that quickly! And I'm not sure if I'd have enough extract to make another recipe and try again...
Please help if you can!

ya try almond i have the same thing so only use like a teaspoon of the mint. You can also just leave it out and have the cake. Also try differant extract like strawberry or rasberry! Let us know how it turns out!
hope this helps

that's likely the culprit. Also, baking leavening that you use for cooking (as opposed to keeping your fridge fresh) you have to keep in a cool dry place like your cupboard, not in the fridge.
Also check temp of oven to make sure it's accurate.
You can use less mint extract - or check health food stores for larger bottles.

The one in Heather's post doesn't take you to the right place anymore. Here's where you can find the recipe:

I have made Heatherīs peppermint fudge cake recipe countless times. It is so incredibly easy and always turns out well - and everybody that tries it is surprised to learn that itīs possible to make a cake out of apple sauce!
The other day I got a bit experimental - I didnīt put in the cocoa powder (or the peppermint essence), and added a small amount of chopped dried fruit (apricots and sultanas). After it had baked and cooled, I drizzled over some glacé icing. It was rather good! I think it would make a good cake for the Christmas season - it reminded me faintly of Stollen. I suppose it would depend on your tolerance of dried fruit but for me it was fine. Iīve just seen that you can use the recipe to make muffins so Iīm going to give that a try...mmm.

I adapted this recipe again, with delicious results! I used the Peppermint Fudge recipe but didn't add the cocoa or peppermint - instead i added a tsp of cinnamon to the dry mixture, and 3 grated carrots and some chopped raisins to the wet mixture - then added wet to try as usual and cooked for 50mins-1 hour. Yummy!
