How to Make Marble Bundt Cake

There are many things I like about making mini cakes but the top two are you can snack on one or two before serving and no one is the wiser and the baking is easier, less time and no worries about burnt outside/undercooked inside, which has totally happened with some of the larger bundt pans I’ve used :( I also really enjoyed getting to try out different decorations, very low pressure, unlike when you’re trying to shape buttercream into a perfect cylinder!

Ingredients:

2 cups flour
¼ cup cornstarch 
2½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¾ cup sour cream, at room temperature
¼ cup whole milk, at room temperature
1 cup  salted butter, at room temperature
1½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract 

For the chocolate marbling:
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon sugar
⅛ teaspoon baking soda

Sift dry ingredients together
Whisk milk and sour cream together in a separate bowl
In a large bow, or stand mixer with paddle attachment, beat butter until light and fluffy.
Add eggs and yolk one at a time while beating on medium speed.
Add vanilla and beat an additional minute.
On low speed add the flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the milk sour cream mixture. Mix until just combined.

Set aside 1-2 cups or batter depending on how much chocolate you want in your marbling.

In a separate bowl, heat butter and sugar until butter is melted.
Mix and add sugar until dissolved.
Sift in cocoa powder while mixing and mix until combined with no lumps.
Add chocolate mixture to reserved batter.

Press cake mix into well-buttered and floured pans. If you overfill them you can always trim the excess and make cake pops with the scraps :)

Bake at 350F for 25-30 minutes depending on the size of your mini bundt pans. Center should spring back when you press gently.


For the Glaze:
If you want to make a traditional vanilla glaze use about two tablespoons of milk per cup of sifted confectioner’s sugar with vanilla added to taste, I generally go with a teaspoon. Mix until sugar is dissolved and pour on cooled cakes.

For the Chocolate ganache use equal parts dark chocolate (chips or small pieces) and cream, heat for 30 second intervals on 50% power until chocolate is softened enough to whisk.

These Mini Bundt Cakes are moist and tender with rich flavor and a deep chocolate ganache on top. Plus, we’ve included all our favorite tips so you can serve up these delicious mini cakes whenever the craving hits.

Baking spray

coffee

cocoa powder (regular

½ tsp kosher salt

1¼ tsp baking soda

eggs egg

buttermilk

vegetable oil

heavy cream (plus 1-3 tbsp if needed)

oz chocolate chips (dark

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 10-inch bundt pan generously with baking spray. Use a clean paper towel to wipe off any excess baking spray from the top of the pan.

Microwave coffee and cocoa powder in a microwave-safe bowl for 1 ½-2 minutes, whisking well every 30 seconds. Set aside to cool.

In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or in a bowl with a hand mixer, combine the sugar, kosher salt, baking soda, egg, and egg yolk on low speed for 1 minute. Scrape sides of bowl with rubber spatula.

Add buttermilk, oil, and vanilla and mix on low speed for 1 minute. Scrape sides of bowl.

Add flour and mix on medium for 2 minutes. Scrape sides of bowl.

Add cooled coffee-cocoa powder mixture and mix on medium speed for 3 minutes. Scrape sides of bowl.

Pour batter into prepared mini bundt pan. For our pan it was just over 2 tablespoons of batter (or 1 ½ scoops from a 1½ tablespoon batter scoop (affiliate)). Bake on the center rack for 14-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Allow cakes to cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Invert the warm cakes on a cooling rack and allow to cool fully.

Wash mini cake pan and repeat with remaining batter.

Bundt Cake Instructions

Once the cakes are cool, microwave heavy cream in a microwave safe bowl for 45-60 seconds until hot, but not boiling. Pour over the chocolate chips and let sit without stirring for 3 minutes. Then whisk until the ganache is smooth.  (If the ganache is not smooth or is too thick, heat an additional 1-3 tbsp of cream in the microwave until hot, then pour into ganache and whisk. Do NOT microwave the ganache).

Place the cakes on a cooling rack, and set the cooling rack over a cookie sheet. Pour the ganache over the top of the cake, allowing excess ganache to drip onto the cookie sheet (see more tips in the Q&amp;A section of this post). Allow ganache to set 1-2 hours before serving.

Ganache Instructions

The best chocolate cake recipe ever. I'm going to try in a bigger mold to see if it will bake up as good as the mini molds did. Any recommendations would be appreciated. And thanks for sharing your recipe.

So this is my ONLY go-to for delicious mini chocolate Bundt cakes. I've made them twice now.  The first time I was craving Nothin But Bundt mini cakes and didn't feel like spending all that money. So I found this recipe, put it together and now I'm a believer. I've been looking for a reason to use my mini Bundt cake silicon molds that I've had for two years. I gave some of the cakes to my daughter and kept the rest for myself. I treated myself to a cake or two every day for about a week 😂.  Then I made them two nights ago for a birthday get together and everybody loved how moist and delicious they are, and my friends are picky! I didn't use the ganache because I made cream cheese icing which everybody loves but next time I will definitely use the ganache which I've made before.  I'll save it for the really special moments 😉.  Great recipe, thank you so much!

Whaaaat?! This is my favorite cake recipe ever. Now it comes in a mini version? I’m in love twice over! 🤤
