Step-by-Step Mini Pumpkin Bundt Cake Recipe
Now, let’s embark on a culinary journey to make these mini pumpkin bundt cakes that are sure to impress your friends and family.
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon of ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon of ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon of ground ginger
- ½ cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup of canned pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- ½ cup of buttermilk
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your mini bundt cake pans thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and a medley of aromatic spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. Set this aromatic mixture aside.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture turns light and fluffy. This should take about 2 minutes of mixing.
- Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Introduce the canned pumpkin puree and vanilla extract into the mixture and continue mixing until it becomes silky smooth.
- Now, it’s time to bring together the dry and wet ingredients. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with buttermilk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, gently stirring until just combined. Overmixing can lead to denser cakes, so be cautious.
- Evenly distribute the batter into your prepared mini bundt cake pans. Gently tap the pans on the countertop to eliminate any air bubbles.
- Bake in your preheated oven for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cakes comes out clean.
- After baking, allow the mini pumpkin bundt cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
