Easter Mini Vanilla Cake Ingredients
A complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.
All-purpose flour: The main ingredient in the cake batter.
Granulated sugar: White sugar is the best choice for these cakes.
Eggs: To bind the cake batter.
Baking powder: For the perfect fluffy and light texture.
Salt: Makes the sweet flavors pop.
Heavy cream: For the cake batter. You could use milk instead.
Powdered sugar: To sweeten the glaze without graininess.
Vanilla extract: To add a delicate vanilla flavor.
Water or milk: To thin the glaze.
How to Make Mini Easter Bundt Cakes
A complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.
Cream the sugar and butter: It’s easiest to do this with an electric mixer. Keep beating until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add more ingredients: Add in the eggs one at a time. Sift the dry ingredients together and then mix the cream and vanilla. Add some of the dry mixture to the butter mixture. Add some of the cream mixture. Repeat until everything is well combined.
Bake the cakes: Divide the batter between greased mini Bundt pans or a Bundtlette pan and then bake the cakes. Let them cool,.
Frost and decorate: Combine the vanilla glaze ingredients and pour this over the cooled cakes. Decorate them with mini eggs.
Substitutions and Variations
Vanilla extract: If you want to change up the flavor, you can substitute another extract for the vanilla in both the cakes and glaze.
Mini egg topping: Instead of using mini eggs, you might like another Easter-related idea such as edible sugar decorations.
Bundt pan: There’s no doubt these mini Bundt cakes are special. Of course you don’t have to use a mini bundt pan but the shape is so pretty you’ll want to!
Decorations: Another fun idea is to add some edible grass between the cake and the eggs. You could also use almond extract instead of (or as well as) the vanilla or even add some cocoa powder to the batter for a chocolate taste.
Serving Suggestions
Appetizers: Begin your Easter feast with some fried deviled eggs.
Main dish: Enjoy pineapple glazed ham with fondant potatoes and rainbow roasted carrots.
Desserts: Finish off with these delicious mini Bundt cakes and perhaps also a cottontail margarita (if you’re feeling festive!)
How to Store Vanilla Bundt Cakes
Store: Keep the Easter mini vanilla Bundt cakes in an airtight container for a couple of days and they will stay fresh.
Freeze: You can freeze these in an airtight container (without the vanilla glaze and mini eggs) for up to 3 months.
Thaw: Thaw them in the refrigerator overnight.
Top Tips
Grease the pan: Use plenty of melted butter to grease your pan, so the cakes slide out easily once cooked.
Combine the eggs well: It’s best to add the eggs one at a time, beating well after adding each one, so they can be well incorporated.
Don’t overfill: Don’t fill the molds more than ⅔ full, otherwise the cake will overflow.
Check for doneness: When the cakes are springy, they’re done.
Easter Themed Cakes FAQs
A Bundtlette pan is a pan with holes for mini sized Bundt cakes. Either silicon or metal would be fine. Mini Bundt cakes are just individually sized cakes, so each person gets their own instead of a slice of a larger cake.
I like to grease the pans with melted butter. You could use oil instead if you prefer or melted shortening. You might also want to sprinkle some flour into the pans before adding the batter. This helps the cakes release more easily as well.
Easter Mini Cakes with Chocolate Eggs Recipe
Easter Mini Bundt Cakes
Equipment
- Electric Mixer or Stand Mixer
Ingredients
- ¾ Cup unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus extra for greasing
- 1 Cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 Cup all-purpose flour
- ½ Teaspoon baking powder
- 1 Pinch salt
- ½ Cup heavy cream, or whole milk
For the Vanilla Glaze:
- 1 Cup powdered sugar
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 to 4 Teaspoons water, or milk
To Decorate:
- 30 chocolate eggs, I used mini Cadbury eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Thoroughly grease a bundlette pan with melted butter.
Make the Cake Batter:
- Add the soft butter and sugar to a large bowl then beat together until fluffy. This will take 3 to 4 minutes using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or 4 to 5 minutes using an electric handheld whisk.
- Add the eggs, one at a time beating well between each addition.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- In a separate bowl or jug, mix together the heavy cream and vanilla extract.
- Add ⅓ of the flour mixture to the butter, sugar and egg mixture in the main mixing bowl. Beat until you can no longer see white streaks of flour.
- Add ½ of the cream mixture to the main mixing bowl and beat until combined. Repeat these steps until all the flour and cream mixture have been added, ending with the flour.
Bake the Cakes:
- Divide the cake batter evenly between the mini Bundlette pan. Each cavity will be ⅔ full.
- Bake in the center of the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the cakes are risen, lightly golden brown and spring back when lightly touched with a finger.
- Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. To turn the cakes out, put a cooling rack on top of the bundt pan, invert the pan and tap on a work surface to release the cakes.
Glaze and Decorate Them:
- To make the vanilla glaze, combine the powdered sugar with the vanilla extract, then gradually add the water a teaspoon full at a time until the glaze reaches a pourable consistency.
- Drizzle the glaze on top of the cooled mini Bundt cakes and then add 5 mini Easter eggs to the center of each cake.
Notes
Combine the eggs well: It’s best to add the eggs one at a time, beating well after adding each one, so they can be well incorporated.
Don’t overfill: Don’t fill the molds more than ⅔ full, otherwise the cake will overflow.
Check for doneness: When the cakes are springy, they’re done.
