Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F / 180°C.

Step 2

Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Add the eggs and vanilla and beat in.

Step 4

Mix in half the flour, along with the baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Step 5

Add the milk and mix in. Make sure it is completely incorporated before moving on to the next step.

Step 6

Add the remaining flour and mix until there are no more lumps.

Step 7

Grease your mini bundt pan and fill each cavity about 2/3 full with batter. You might find it easier to transfer the batter to a piping bag and squeeze it into the pan. If your pan only has 6 cavities, you can do this in two batches.

Step 8

Bake for 12 minutes. The mini bundt cakes should look golden brown and a toothpick inserted should come out clean.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let sit in the pan, on the countertop for exactly 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, flip the pan upside down onto a wire rack. The mini bundt cakes should remove easily.

Step 10

Sift your powdered sugar into a bowl.

Step 11

Melt butter in the microwave then pour into the powdered sugar along with the milk and vanilla.

Step 12

If you would like a runnier glaze, you can add more milk until you reach the desired consistency.

Step 13

If you're making a vanilla glaze, it's ready! If you want to make other flavors, add in your other ingredients here. See post above for inspiration and instructions on how to make various flavors. (Including lemon, maple pecan, chocolate, coffee and strawberry).
