I love these bite-size mini bundt cakes ;) With a big mouth they are gone with the blink of an eye ;)
Well and for all the others maybe in two bites… no matter how you eat them – they are really delicious. Very chocolaty because of the chocolate inside the cake and the chocolate ganache on top. The fresh fruits on top just make them pretty much perfekt. The best thing – they also look pretty cute. So if you need a little highlight on your coffee table or for a buffet on a party – these mini bundt cakes are the perfect choice.

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
1. Start with making the coffee. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180°C). Grease the mini bundt pans Ø 2.75 inch (7cm) and dust with some cocoa powder. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl mix the melted butter with cocoa powder and coffee until well combined. Add sugar and mix until dissolved. Set aside and let cool for some time.
3. In a second bowl mix flour with baking soda and salt. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the cooled cocoa mixture and mix until well combined. Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
4. Pour the batter into the mini bundt pans and bake for 18-22 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool down a bit in the bundt pans and then remove carefully and let cool down completely on a wire rack.
5. Combine whipping cream and vanilla extract and heat until bubbles appear on the surface (either microwave or in a small saucepan over medium heat). Pour over the chopped chocolate and let sit for a moment. Stir until all of the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Drizzle the ganache on the cooled bundt cakes, top with fresh berries and dust with powdered sugar. Serve immediately.
1. Als erstes den Kaffee aufbrühen. Zur Seite stellen. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) vorheizen. Die Mini Gugelhupfförmchen Ø 7cm (2.75 inch) fetten und mit Kakao bestäuben. Zur Seite stellen.
2. In einer großen Schüssel die geschmolzene Butter mit dem Kakao und Kaffee verrühren, bis alles gut vermischt ist. Zucker zugeben und so lange rühren, bis er sich aufgelöst hat. Zur Seite stellen und etwas abkühlen lassen.
3. In einer zweiten Schüssel das Mehl mit Backpulver und Salz vermischen. Das Ei und Vanille Extrakt zur abgekühlten Kakao Mischung geben und gut verrühren. Mehlmix zugeben und kurz verrühren. Nicht zu viel rühren.
4. Den Teig in die Mini Gugelhupfformen füllen und für 18-22 Minuten backen – mit einem Zahnstocher testen, ob noch Teig kleben bleibt und erst herausnehmen, wenn der Zahnstocher sauber herauskommt. In den Formen etwas abkühlen lassen und dann vorsichtig herauslösen. Auf einem Kuchengitter dann komplett auskühlen lassen.
5. Sahne mit Vanille Extrakt erhitzen, bis sich kleine Bläschen an der Oberfläche bilden (entweder in der Mikrowelle oder einem kleinen Topf auf dem Herd). Über die gehackte Schokolade schütten und kurz stehen lassen. Dann so lange verrühren, bis die Schokolade komplett geschmolzen und eine glatte Masse entstanden ist. Auf die abgekühlten Gugelhupf träufeln und mit Früchten verzieren. Mit Puderzucker bestäuben und servieren.

Tolle Mini Gugelhupf! Werd ich heute mal ausprobieren für den Geburtstag meiner Schwiegermutter! :)
Freut mich! Dann mal viel Erfolg mit den kleinen Kuchen :)
Hello Marc, my cake came out delicious. Thanks for the recipe! However it was very crumbly and can’t hold it shape when i tried to unmould it. The pan was greased and dusted with cocoa powder. Scaled and followed the recipe exactly. I was using wilton mini fluted tube pan 24 cavity and your recipe yield exactly 24 for my pan. Should i add some more flour and egg to give it structure? Please help!
Hi,
bundt pans are weird sometimes – the same recipe works most of the time, and then sometimes not. It’s hard to tell what the reason is.
I used silicone molds though – they are normally easier to handle.
Cheers,
Marc
