Cake Mix Pumpkin Mini Bundt Cakes

Mini Bundt Cakes with Cake Mix

You can make moist pumpkin bread, or use a boxed spice cake like we did. That is totally your choice. If I had more time I would’ve gone all out with homemade, but boxed did the trick for this “baking project”. What is a bundt cake? It is just a different shape with a hole in the center.

Works great to flip one upside down and create another cute shape, a pumpkin!! You’ll need this smaller pan so you can make individual servings. Of course you could make a larger version this same way but you’d need to slice it to serve.

How Long to Bake Mini Bundt Cakes

You will need 20-23 minutes or so to get to a light golden brown but still fluffy which is what you want. You will add the batter into a mini bundt pan sprayed with non stick spray so they slide out easily. Temperature used is according to the directions on the cake mix. Or make homemade pumpkin bread and cook accordingly.

When they are done and cool take them out and cut the rounded part off the top of the mini bundt. That way 2 will sit flush with one another and look more like a pumpkin. Here are the other items you will need:

Ingredients

• Boxed cake mix (any kind, we used spiced cake mix)
  • or make pumpkin apple bread and spoon into these molds
• 2 caramels per “pumpkin” you will use as a stem, or a tootsie roll works too
• A nice add on after they are done is to melt and pour orange frosting (or color white frosting) on top

Here’s a quick video showing you just how easy they are to make.

How to make mini pumpkin cake with bundt pan

So you basically bake in the pan and then you will want them to cool. I don’t show it in the video but just cut the rounded part off your bundt cakes before putting them together. This way the top and bottom are flat and can sit together flush. Use a bit of frosting in between to “glue” the two sides together and you’re set.

To go a step further you’ll want to make them orange with an edible stem. Microwave your tub of frosting for maybe 30 seconds in the microwave, stir in food coloring and pour over the top of the whole thing to coat. Then push 2 caramels together to make the pumpkin “stem”.
