While Mini Bundt Cakes are ideal for the upcoming Easter holiday just like our Birds Nest Macaroons, these mini cakes are also perfect for any holiday from celebrating the spring season to Mother’s Day, and St. Patrick’s Day to Christmas. The only thing you change is the decorating.

This is a standard recipe that can be customized for any occasion with a simple change of toppings.

I love delicious desserts that are so very simple to make. Which is why I have a soft spot for treats made with boxed cake mix. It started with these Funfetti Cake Mix Cookies, which are so pretty yet possibly the best cookie there ever was.

I’m always on the hunt for boxed cake mix recipes, for their simplicity but also because I’m hardly disappointed that they aren’t made from scratch. These Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies prove that.

They are a pretty shape, even before decorated. All you ned is a Mini Bundt Cake Pan, and the one linked for you, is a 12 cavity great quality pan. Plus, it’s under $11.

Tips for Success

When making mini bundt cakes using a box cake mix according to the directions on the back of the box, it will make about 12 mini bundt cakes.
Which is perfect for this Wilton Mini Fluted Tube Pan, 12-Cavity.
I use cooking spray and then a dusting of flour when I bake with my bundt cake pans. It helps to ensure the baked goods don’t stick to the pan.
You also want to allow the cakes to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before moving them to a wire rack. This helps for easy removal, and to set the cake a little so that the wires of the rack doesn’t indent the cakes. Keep in mind, if you leave the cakes in the pan too long, you’ll have a difficult time removing them.

Recipe Variations

Boxed Cake Mix – I used yellow cake mix, but truthfully, you can use whichever flavour box of cake mix you prefer. You can use carrot cake, pink velvet, lemon or even white cake mix or chocolate cake mix.
The options are endless when it comes to frosting and decorations – go wild!
Instead of frosting, use chocolate ganache or our Dream Whip Frosting.

Ingredients Required
