Mini Bundt Cakes (Perfect for bridal showers)

If you love this recipe, be sure to Yum it here: Yum


Do you have your bridal shower menu planned yet? If you don't, you need to add our mini bundt cakes. They're super easy to make, taste great, and you probably have everything you need for them in your home.

And, they're diet friendly. I know, I know, you don't want to think about a diet at your bridal shower. But really, a shower means your wedding is coming up. And if your wedding is on the way, you need to fit into your dress.

Now, I'm not exactly sure how many calories these are or anything like that, but when I make them in a mini muffin pan without frosting, they're one Weight Watchers point each. These are about half that size, but have a little chocolate drizzle. So, still diet-friendly, I just don't know how friendly.

Mix together the cake mix, yogurt, and water in a large bowl.

I used a butter yellow cake mix and vanilla yogurt this time. You can really mix and match any way you want. I usually stick with vanilla yogurt and I've matched it with chocolate box mix, carrot cake mix (which was our favorite), on and on. You could try something like lemon cake mix and lemon yogurt. Go crazy.

Spray a mini bundt pan with cooking spray. Fill the cavities about halfway. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 12 minutes.

Rest the mini bundt cakes on a cooling rack until, well, until they're cool.

If you go with a dense cake recipe, like a pound cake, you'll really see the details in the bundt cakes and you can probably stop here and do one of your other million wedding tasks. But, if you use a light and airy cake mix like the recipe above (which I highly recommend), the details aren't as great. So you need to add a little something to make them pop. That's where my drizzle came in.

Now, if I'm being honest, I actually used chocolate icing for my drizzle because our home is chocolate-free right now since I gave it up for Lent. All we actually had was leftover icing from a cake I made my mom for her birthday. I wouldn't recommend icing for these, though, because it always stays just a little bit sticky. Instead, go with baking chips. Melt them in a microwave-safe bowl and spoon it into a piping bag. If you're like me and don't own a piping bag, you can just spoon the melted chocolate into a plastic sandwich bag, then cut off the tip. 

Drizzle the chocolate over the top of the mini bundt cakes and wait for it to cool.

While you're waiting, you can make a super cute sign that says: Mini Bundt Cakes. If you're making more than one variety, you can make a tag for each so that your guests know just what they're about to enjoy.
