    Bundt Newbie

    If this is the first time you're attempting chocolate mini Bundt cakes, you won't be disappointed. They're tiny, adorable and oh-so delicious.

    In addition to satisfying your sweet tooth, this recipe is a baker's joy. The cake batter is relatively simple to make and you know how much I love an easy recipe. It works especially well because of it's denseness as light cakes may not come out of the mini Bundt pan very well. Part of their allure is how beautiful they are, so a cake that can hold its structure is very important.

    Pan Selection

    There are so many beautiful Bundt pans available. From the classic and simple variety to the ultra intricate, there is a pan for all special occasions. If you already own a Bundt pan, there's no need to buy another. The additional cost simply isn't necessary. However, if you're in the market for a new one, I'm sharing my top three choices.

    • Nordic Ware Heritage Bundtlette Pan
    • Nordic Ware Brownie Bundt Pan
    • Wilton Excelle Elite Mini Fluted Tube Pan

    How to Prepare Your Cake Pans

    There's nothing worse than the feeling of flipping over your delicious Bundt cake and having it stick to the pan. It's truly heartbreaking. Thankfully, there are ways to avoid this scenario entirely. Properly preparing your pans is pivotal and applies whether you're using a mini-Bundt pan or large Bundt pan.

    • Baking Spray: while this is technically the simplest method, please know that not all baking sprays are created equal. Due to the elaborate details of Bundt pans, it's best to use a spray containing flour such as the Pam Canola Oil Baking Spray with Flour.
    • Grease: another great method is to grease your pan with shortening and then dust it with a little bit of all purpose flour.

    Ingredients Needed

    While the full ingredient measurements are provided in the recipe card below, here is a quick list of what you'll need to make these mini chocolate Bundt cakes.

    Chocolate Ganache vs. Rich Chocolate Glaze

    What's the difference between chocolate ganache and chocolate glaze? It depends on your definition of glaze. Many bakers use ganache as a glaze. Personally, I tend to base it on the consistency of the mixture. If there is a higher heavy whipping cream to chocolate ratio, then the ganache can easily become a glaze. For more on how to achieve the perfect consistency, check out my post on How to Make Chocolate Ganache.

    Special Equipment

    With just a few key tools, you can whip together the best chocolate Bundt cake.

    • Stand mixer or handheld electric mixer: for the batter
    • Large bowl: to mix the batter
    • Heatproof bowl: for the chocolate ganache
    • Small saucepan: for the chocolate ganache
    • Bundtlette pan: to bake the mini cakes
    • Wire rack: to cool cakes
