mini dOuble chOcOlate bundt cakes with ganache glaze

Say goodbye to all the crumbly, dried out cakes you’ve had in the past and devour this delightful mini double chocolate bundt cake with ganache glaze.

Every chocolate cake I’ve had thus far in my life has taken a back seat!  You will never want another chocolate cake after eating this. The batter is infused with bittersweet chocolate, coffee, and buttermilk which make for a moist, airy, and fluffy bite of heaven….then as if that’s not enough- an almost fudge-like ganache is drizzled over top.

I adore these little mini bundt cakes, they make for the perfect portion. 

A few tips for using bundt pans:

– To ensure that your cake doesn’t stick in all the little decorative crevices of your pan first spray generously with a cooking spray. No need to flour the pan…

– Fill your bundt pan molds only 2/3 full so that the batter doesn’t overflow while cooking and ruin your pretty little cakes. 

– Allow 10 minutes after cooking for the cakes to cool in the pan before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

dOuble chOcOlate bundt cake with ganache glaze

Bundt pans create beautiful, hassle-free cakes that look like you spent a lot of time creating.

They come in all different designs and sizes that allow you to make your cake a fancy focal point of your table without taking the extra steps of decorating it…simple yet elegant at the same time.  

This recipe is basically my mini double chocolate bundt cakes with ganache glaze but in a large bundt pan. It can be difficult and confusing to adjust your temperature and cook time when changing to a different size pan so I’ve made it easy so that you can make this recipe in mini or large pans. Anyone who has tried making a cake into cupcakes can tell you that you have to lower the temperature of the oven and change how long you cook the batter for…otherwise you could end up with a dried out burnt brick instead of a moist fluffy cupcake.

So for your next dinner party make this simple and elegant dessert and impress your guests, or just make it at home one night for yourself and enjoy!
