  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • One large egg, room temperature
  • ¼ cup vanilla yogurt (or sour cream)
  • ¾ cup milk
  • One tablespoon of vanilla extract
  • ⅔ cup jimmies

VANILLA GLAZE

Material

Instructions

MINI BUNDT CAKES

  • To begin, heat your oven to 350 degrees. Next, either grease and flour a mini bundt pan or spray it with cooking spray that contains flour. Set that aside.
  • Whisk your flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium-sized bowl until combined. Then, allow it to sit, and work on the wet ingredients.
  • Vigorously whisk your butter and sugars together until they form a gritty mixture. Pop this in the fridge for just a minute. Beat your egg, yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
  • Now slowly mix in your dry ingredients, making sure to avoid lumps. You’ll find that the batter is quite thick. At this point, carefully fold in your sprinkles, but be sure not to over-mix.
  • Spoon your batter into the mini-bundts and bake anywhere between 20 and 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool for about 10 minutes in the pan before removing it onto a wire rack. Wait until completely cooled before adding the glaze.

VANILLA GLAZE

Firstly, melt butter and blend it with the other ingredients. Use a whisk to mix the ingredients until creamy. Now comes the fun part, pour this delightful mixture over mini bundts and top with jimmies or your favorite sprinkles to add a touch of color and flavor.

How To Make Your Cakes Taste Homemade

Grab a quality cake mix, follow these simple tips, and impress your guests with an upgraded taste as if you made it from scratch.

  • First, choose a cake mix with natural ingredients and good reviews. Look for premium options for a more natural taste. To enhance the flavor, include extracts like vanilla or almond and those already in the mix. Using one to two teaspoons of flavoring per box adds a homemade touch.
  • Use more eggs than the mix calls for to increase moistness and tenderness, and swap oil for an equal amount of melted butter for added richness. Letting milk replace water will add flavor and a softer texture, especially when using whole milk or buttermilk.
  • Incorporating 1/4 to 1/2 cups of sour cream or Greek yogurt will moisten the cake and add a charm that only homemade cakes can provide. Adding mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, fruits, or coconut will add flavor and give the impression of a made-from-scratch creation.
  • While mixing the cake, follow the box instructions for timing and measurements and decorate it to your taste by topping it with homemade frosting or ganache. Finish with fresh fruit, grated chocolate, or sprinkles for a beautiful and tasteful cake.

How do you get a cake out of a mini Bundt pan?

Mini funfetti bundt cake Recipe

For a flawless release of your delicious mini Bundt cake, follow these easy steps:

  • Step 1: Cool it! Give your cake time to firm up and set completely in the mini Bundt pan. This step goes a long way in making removal easier without cracks and damage.
  • Step 2: Loosen the Edges. Use a butter knife or a slim spatula to gently trace the cake’s edges and separate it from the pan.
  • Step 3: Get Ready to Invert. Place a wire cooling rack or plate atop the mini Bundt pan. Carefully flip the pan upside down and hold it while giving the cake time to release onto the rack/plate.
  • Step 4: Lightly Tap. Encourage the cake to come out by tapping the bottom of the pan. If it doesn’t budge, shake the pan horizontally to loosen it.
  • Step 5: Remove the pan. Gently tap or shake away any clinging cake and lift the mini Bundt pan off from the cake.
  • Step 6: Cool. Set the cake aside on the cooling rack before adding frosting or decorations.

Note: Remember, not all mini Bundt pans are created the same. Some come with detachable bottoms or non-stick coatings, which further simplify the removal process. To figure out the type of mini Bundt pan you have, check out the instructions or recommendations that came with it.

Tips and Tricks for the Best Funfetti Bundt Cake

For a perfect cake, avoiding some common pitfalls is key. Here are some solid tips:

  • Lower-quality alternatives can bleed into the batter.
  • Bake until the edges begin to pull away from the pan, the top is springy when pushed, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the middle reads 200ºF.
  • Loosen the cake from the edges of the pan with a knife, then let it cool for at least 10 minutes on a wire rack before flipping.

Make sure your cake is completely cooled before glazing for an immaculate finish. Otherwise, the glaze won’t set and will slip off the cake.
