Using just 2 ingredient bundt cake, and using ready made caramel sauce you can whip these up really quickly and let me tell you they are ahhhhmazing!!! (affiliate links present)
Mini Bundt Cake Recipe
How long to bake a bundt cake you might ask. It is just a different shape than if you used a round or rectangle 9×13″. Not only are they super pretty and cute but there is no longer any need to slice a piece as they will already be in one serving right out of the pan! A whole one takes about 50 minutes, not these.
We first made this banana bread bundt cake and it was so delicious and easy we decided to take it a step further. Cute was the word for the day so we used this pan next and OMG were they a hit. When you think outside the box you too might create your own favorite flavors with a mini bundt cake pan.
Samoa Mini Bundt Cake Recipe
This is a just the variety we made this time. You can use this 2 ingredient cake recipe with any flavor of soda and cake mix you want.
Ingredients
- We used a 6 count Mini bundt cake pan but there are larger ones if you want to make more than that at a time.
- if you were to put one on top of the other to make our cake mix mini pumpkin bundt cakes
- 1 box of chocolate cake mix – or whatever flavor you want to make, there are tons of varieties
- A can of soda – Root beer goes great with chocolate, lemon lime soda goes with everything
- If you are going to make this version you would then need
- Sweetened shredded coconut for the top
- Jar of caramel topping on top
- Mini chocolate chips (this is how to melt chocolate chips in microwave until smooth)
- If you are going to make this version you would then need
Of course you can opt to make a bundt cake instead of mini bundt cakes, the only difference would be the baking time. Use this same batter to make really little bites like mini chocolate cupcakes. The possibilities are endless.
How Long to Bake Mini Bundt Cake at 350
You need about 20 minutes to get these done which isn’t much longer than cupcakes!! Way prettier it is a great way to make individual cakes in a new prettier shape for parties or just because. You don’t want to bake them too long either so stay close at 18 min. Once they spring back when touched on the top, take out, allow to cool a few min. in the pan and remove on to a cooling rack.
It isn’t much different than the larger version other than the timing. I mean just like how long to bake mini cupcakes it is quite a bit less, more than half in this case.
I like making mini versions of these and our Champagne Cake because each one has more coating like coconut and caramel on it and you don’t have to bother with messy cutting. They are really pretty served this way on a plate, everyone gets their own and they’re already portioned out. If you love this samoas Girl Scout cookie cake you should make Thin Mint too!
How to Bake Mini Bundt Cakes
- Combine the box of cake mix dry ingredients with root beer.
- Use a mixer on low to make sure it is mixed well.
- Spray inside of mini bundt cake pan holes well with non stick baking spray.
- Use a 1/2 up measuring cup to fill each hole, about 1/2 full.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until they spring back when touched gently on the top. When the center comes out clean with a toothpick you are good.
- Allow to cool to room temperature on a wire rack
- Use a pan on the stove with some shredded coconut in it and toast until lightly browned.
- Loosen edges of mini bundt cakes and carefully flip over on to remove them.
- Put on cooling rack with parchment paper underneath to catch excess chocolate or vanilla glaze and/or toppings.
- Pour caramel topping over each bundt followed by toasted coconut, then use a fork to drizzle chocolate on the very top. Serve!
Baking Tips
For this pan you really want to spray the holes well with non stick spray so they slide out easily. Allow to cool completely before removing and glazing. If you cook them just a bit underdone they will continue baking in the hot pan so the cakes taste more fudgy.
Once you have this smaller version of a mini bundt pan you can let your imagination go wild. Use dark chocolate cake batter with root beer soda and chocolate glaze poured over the top. Add crushed Andes Mints for another popular cookie choice too right?
Mini Bundt Cake Recipes
- You can make a savory option too like our Bundt Pan Meatloaf. Just fill and they’re done in about 25 minutes!
- Mini lemon bundt cakes with cream cheese frosting made with a block and powdered sugar is great during the summertime.
- For added fun make mini chocolate bundt cakes, slice each in half and fill the middle with chocolate ganache. Then pour the frosting on.
- Hummingbird mini bundt cakes might be a new one to you and that is always a hoot. I mean the name itself makes me smile.

How to Save Leftover Mini Bundt Cakes
If you have some left that you aren’t going to be able to eat that day, you can keep them moist. Wait until they are completely cooled first. Then slide them into a freezer bag if they don’t have frosting on them and suck the air out. If they are already dressed you may want to use a sealed container instead. Keep on the countertop and eat within 3 days.
