1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract or peppermint extract, to taste

Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake for 1 hour- but check it after 55 minutes just in case.

In a medium bowl, mix powdered sugar with peppermint extract (to taste- adjust as necessary), then mix a few drops of hot water.
Stir stir stir.
If it's too thick, add another couple drops of water.
