Blueberry Cocoa Mini Bundt Cake

There’s just something about mini desserts that makes even grown men incapable to decline them. And when these desserts are shaped in Bundt pans? That means the stakes are even higher in finding someone refusing a bite.

Blueberry Cocoa Mini Bundt Cakes

Non-stick cooking spray
1/2 cup (112 g) nondairy butter
1 cup (192 g) raw sugar
4 teaspoons instant espresso powder
2 tablespoons (30 ml) warm water
1 1/2 cups (360 g) vanilla soy or other nondairy yogurt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup (75 g) finely ground hazelnuts
1/2 cup (40 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups (240 g) whole-wheat pastry flour
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup (145 g) fresh or frozen blueberries

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C, or gas mark 4). Lightly coat 6 mini Bundt pans with spray.
With an electric mixer, cream together butter and sugar. In a small bowl, dissolve espresso powder into warm water. Combine yogurt, extract, ground hazelnuts, and espresso mixture, into creamed butter and sugar.
Sift cocoa, flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda on top.
Fold dry ingredients into wet, being careful not to over mix. Fold in blueberries.
Divide batter equally among prepared mini Bundt pans.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool on a wire rack.

Yield: 6 mini Bundt cakes

    Okay, first of all anything in miniature form is great. Then you add in the chocolate, hazelnut, and berries and I can hardly stand it. I have a list a mile long of your recipes I want to try. Damn 8 to 5 job….

    blueberries, cocoa and hazelnuts. what a great combo. They are cute too. I’d totally glaze them. I see bundt and I must glaze. mini is very cute. I used to have a set of mini layer cake pans and my mother would let me have some batter once in a while while she was making a big cake. My sister even made some homemade package mixes for my birthday that were just enough for my pans. No ez-bake ovens allowed in our house.

    Curious…do you say “bunt” or “boont”. Either way, blueberry and cocoa bunts/boonts sound superb. I like most things better when they’re mini…there’s just something about eating cute food.

    Hi,
    Just wanted to thank you for posting this tempting recipe. I’m preparing a post for National Bundt Pan Day (Nov. 15) and hopefully I will get it done:) Anyway, I hope you don’t mind if I “borrow” your link. I thought mini bundt cake recipes would just be perfect for this time of year. Thanks again for sharing…
