Are you in need of a simple and fun dessert that is a bit different? I think you came to the right place because you will love these Mini Vanilla Bundt Cakes with Chocolate Glaze. These little cakes will make the perfect holiday treat!
December is coming! December is coming!
The month of more cozy and delicious meals plus some crazy good desserts. Because seriously if you can’t justify dessert this time of year, then when can you justify it? Trust me.
What kind of dessert goer are you? Do you like to decide on one dessert and go with it or do you try a little of each? I personally try to pick one dessert and stick to that piece because when I try a “little” of each the sizes just don’t seem anywhere close to the little piece I was going for.
I wouldn’t even call it a trick, but the quote trick to these mini bundt cakes is spraying the pan nice and even with non-stick cooking spray or olive oil spray and you will get cakes that fall off the pan perfectly. It works like a charm! I was like okay wait a minute, it’s really that easy? Yep it really is.
Delicious Little Cakes!
They are just waiting to be fancied up. So, let’s get to it!
The big question is do I love the cake or the glaze better? I dunno. That glaze though!! Don’t judge but it kind of reminds me of the chocolate glaze on the Long Johns I used to eat as a kid. They were a weekly Saturday morning treat! Pretty sure those Long Johns had cream in the middle too, and it seemed I turned out okay. Haha! Ahh, the good ‘ol days.
The goodness hidden in this chocolate glaze:
1. semisweet chocolate chips
2. organic blue agave
3. butter
Prepare to be smitten…
