Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use a regular bundt cake pan instead of a mini one?

Yes, you can! The cooking time will be longer, though. Check the cake after 30 minutes and continue baking until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Can I make these gluten-free?

Yes, you can! Simply substitute a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend for the regular flour. Make sure it includes xanthan gum, or add 1/4 teaspoon of xanthan gum to the recipe.

Can I make these dairy-free?

Yes, you can! Substitute vegan butter for the unsalted butter, and use a non-dairy sour cream alternative.

Personal Thoughts:

Mini bundt cakes are one of my favorite desserts to make. They’re easy to customize, and they always look so cute on a serving platter. I love serving them with a dollop of whipped cream and some berries for a fresh and light dessert. Give this recipe a try and let me know what you think!
