Ingredients for Funfetti Mini Bundt Cakes

Below are the ingredients you’ll need for this recipe (with suggested measurements in parentheses). Feel free to adjust them slightly based on taste or dietary preferences:

• All-Purpose Flour (1 cup)
  Forms the base of your batter, providing structure and a soft crumb.
• Baking Powder (1 teaspoon) & Baking Soda (¼ teaspoon)
  These leavening agents work together to help the cakes rise, ensuring a light, fluffy texture.
• Granulated Sugar (½ cup)
  Sweetens the cakes and contributes to their golden color.
• Salt (¼ teaspoon)
  Balances the sweetness and highlights the flavors of vanilla and sprinkles.
• Egg (1, at room temperature)
  Binds all ingredients together and adds richness.
• Plain Non-Fat Greek Yogurt (½ cup)
  Brings moisture and tenderness without adding excess fat—helps achieve that melt-in-your-mouth crumb.
• Milk (1 tablespoon)
  Thins the batter for a smoother consistency.
• Unsalted Butter, melted (2 tablespoons)
  Adds flavor and richness; melting it helps incorporate it evenly into the batter.
• Vanilla Extract (1 teaspoon)
  Enhances the sweet flavor and pairs beautifully with rainbow sprinkles.
• Rainbow Sprinkles (¼ cup, plus more for topping)
  The star of the show—add them last to avoid color bleeding!

For the Glaze

• Confectioners’ Sugar (½ cup)
  Creates a sweet, velvety drizzle.
• Milk (1 tablespoon)
  Thins out the sugar to form a smooth pouring consistency.
• Vanilla Extract (¼ teaspoon)
  Elevates the flavor of the glaze.
• Additional Sprinkles
  For extra color and crunch on top!

Variations for Funfetti Mini Bundt Cakes

• Flavor Twists: Swap vanilla extract for almond or lemon extract for a subtle flavor change.
• Add Citrus Zest: A bit of lemon or orange zest brightens the cake’s flavor profile.
• Chocolate Lovers: Stir in mini chocolate chips or drizzle melted white chocolate on top for extra sweetness.
• Dairy-Free Version: Use almond milk or oat milk and vegan butter to accommodate dietary needs.
• Gluten-Free Option: Substitute a reliable gluten-free flour blend, ensuring it contains a binder like xanthan gum for proper texture.

How to Make Funfetti Mini Bundt Cakes Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Combine Dry Ingredients
   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. This step helps evenly distribute the leavening agents and sugar throughout the mixture, ensuring a consistent rise and flavor.
2. Blend Wet Ingredients
   In a separate bowl, whisk the egg with the melted butter, Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth. Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature so they blend easily.
3. Mix and Fold
   Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the wet mixture, then gently stir until the batter comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep your cakes light. Add the rainbow sprinkles last, folding them in gently to prevent the colors from bleeding too much.
4. Fill the Mini Bundt Pans
   Generously coat your mini bundt pan with nonstick spray or butter. Spoon the batter into each cavity, filling them about two-thirds full. Leave a little room at the top to allow the cakes to rise without overflowing.
5. Bake
   Slide the filled pan into a preheated oven at 350°F (177°C) and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the thickest part of a cake comes out clean. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking; mini bundts can go from perfect to dry quickly.
6. Cool
   Remove the pan from the oven and let it rest on a cooling rack for about 5 minutes. Carefully invert each cake onto the rack to cool completely. If any cakes stick, run a thin knife around the edges to help release them.
7. Prepare the Glaze
   In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Adjust the thickness by adding more sugar for a thicker glaze or more milk for a thinner drizzle.
8. Decorate
   Once cooled, drizzle each mini bundt cake with the prepared glaze. Top with extra rainbow sprinkles for a final pop of color.

Serving and Decoration

Funfetti Mini Bundt Cakes are inherently fun and festive, but there’s always room for extra flair:

• Extra Sweetness: Pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
• Colorful Toppings: Consider candy confetti, edible glitter, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
• Themed Decorations: Match sprinkles to specific holidays or color schemes for birthdays and events.

Storing Funfetti Mini Bundt Cakes

• At Room Temperature: Place cakes in an airtight container and store for up to 3 days. The glaze may slightly harden over time, but it keeps them moist on the inside.
• Refrigeration: If you’re in a warmer climate or want to store them longer, keep them in the fridge for up to 5 days. Let them come to room temperature before serving.
• Freezing: Wrap unglazed cakes tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, and add the glaze fresh before serving.

Funfetti Mini Bundt Cakes FAQs

1. Can I use a regular bundt pan instead of a mini one?
Yes! The recipe works in a standard bundt pan, though the bake time will be longer—plan on about 25–35 minutes. Always test doneness with a toothpick inserted in the thickest part.

2. Which sprinkles are best?
Jimmies (the rod-shaped sprinkles) hold their color and shape well during baking. Nonpareils (tiny round sprinkles) can bleed more, so add them sparingly.

3. Can I double the recipe?
Absolutely. Just ensure you have enough mini bundt pans or bake in batches. Keep batter chilled if you have to bake in rounds.

4. How do I prevent sticking in the bundt pans?
Grease the pans thoroughly with butter or nonstick spray, making sure to get into every ridge and crevice for easy release.

5. Can I make these cakes ahead of time?
Yes. Bake them a day in advance, store in an airtight container at room temperature, and glaze them before serving to keep them looking fresh and glossy.

Conclusion

Funfetti Mini Bundt Cakes are your ticket to a playful, party-ready dessert that tastes as good as it looks. They’re soft, moist, and delightfully colorful thanks to rainbow sprinkles.
