This is a very nice, moist cake. I had my doubts about combining peppermint with kiwi and orange but decided to try it anyway and was pleasantly surprised. I baked it in my Bundt pan and since it was just for the family, I didn't put on the glaze as we are trying to watch how much sugar we eat. Even without the glaze, it was exceptional.

Made as muffins, very good! Used whole eggs and no peppermint! The glaze made them even better!
