Mini bundt cakes are small pantry cakes with a soft, delicate crumb, ideal as single portions. The batter is a classic butter base, decorated with a dark chocolate glaze that highlights the shape of the mold. They can be finished with fresh fruit, chopped hazelnuts, chocolate flakes or colorful sprinkles. Below, let’s see what you need to make these delicious mini bundt cakes with chocolate glaze at home:
Other Bundt cake recipes:
- Preparation time: 20 Minutes
- Portions: 8
- Cooking methods: Oven
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/3 cup milk
- vanilla extract
- a pinch of salt
- 3 oz 70% dark chocolate
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tsp butter
Steps
Beat the softened butter with the sugar until pale and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Sift the flour with the baking powder and fold it into the batter in two additions, alternating with the milk. Add a pinch of salt and gently mix until you obtain a smooth, homogeneous batter.
Divide the batter among the molds that have been well buttered, filling them about two-thirds full.
Bake in a static (conventional) oven preheated to 338°F for 20–25 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick.
Remove from the oven, let cool for 10 minutes, then unmold and cool completely on a wire rack.
Meanwhile, prepare the chocolate glaze. Finely chop the dark chocolate and place it in a bowl. Heat the cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer.
Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and stir gently until you obtain a smooth ganache. Add the butter and mix thoroughly until incorporated.
Let the glaze cool for a few minutes, until it reaches a pourable consistency. Then pour the glaze over each cake, letting it drip naturally down the sides.
Finally, decorate as desired with colorful sprinkles and let set for a few minutes before serving.
The mini bundt cakes with chocolate glaze are ready to enjoy!
