Mini Strawberry Bundt Cakes

It’s Mother’s Day this weekend and I wanted to whip up something pretty as a picture, and of course delicious, to celebrate all the wonderful Mums in our lives!

Mini Strawberry Bundt Cakes for Mothers Day

I know it’s a bit of a cliche, but when I think Mother’s Day I am inspired by anything feminine, pink and floral – and this recipe ticks all those boxes.

I recently came into possession of a mini bundt pan, and decided these ornamentally shapes cakes would be perfect for the occasion.

I am unashamedly girly sometimes, so pink was the natural theme for the day and therefore I decided to flavour and colour these cakes with fresh strawberries. This recipe produces a light and fluffy cake that’s not too sweet, and it’s one of my go-to desserts right now.

With a final drizzle of cream cheese icing and a flower on top, these beautiful little desserts are the perfect way to celebrate the special person in your life.

If strawberries are not in season where you live, frozen strawberries work just as well (although make sure you defrost them first).

While the strawberries do a great job of tinting the cake batter pink, if you want to amp up the colour a bit more then feel free to add in a few drops of pink food colouring. The rose-hued cakes contrast beautifully against the white cream cheese icing.

    Wow, these little cakes are just gorgeous! Now I’m thinking I have been seriously missing out with no mini bundt pan in my life! I love that the photo shoot is even complete with mini cake stand and mini paper doily!! Pinned to my ‘Amazing Cakes’ board, because these truly do look amazing! :D

      Thanks Lisa! I think you definitely need a mini bundt pan in your life – they are so cute!

    How many mini bundts does this recipe make? I only want to make 2.

    • Reply Swah March 27, 2017 at 10:40 am

      Hi Mary, this recipe made 6 small-medium bundts – it will depend on the size of your mini bundt pan. However if you only want to make 2, I would halve the recipe and see how you go – you may have a little bit of batter leftover

    How do you know what flowers are edible?

    • Reply Swah August 29, 2017 at 9:46 am

      Hi Donna, a lot of high end grocery stores and farmer’s markets now sell specific “edible flowers” so you can be assured that they won’t make you sick! I would only use those in my cooking. Otherwise, I sometimes get homegrown flowers that I am assured are pesticide-free and use them to decorate the cake, but I avoid eating them

    These are so adorable! i divided the recipe by 3 and it was the perfect amount for 3 mini bundt cakes. They taste so nice, thank you for the recipe!

      You are welcome Sam!

    Can I substitute the caster sugar for beat up granulated sugar? I don’t have caster so I was wondering if I can just put granulated sugar in the food processor. Thanks!

    • Reply Swah February 4, 2018 at 4:05 pm

      Hi Amy, if you find it difficult to buy caster sugar then yes you can definitely pulverise the granulated sugar in the food process until it’s finer. Great idea! :)

    This recipe sounds delicious but I’m curious as to what size are they are? I have two mini bundt tins – one makes 6 small cakes the other 12 cupcake size. Which do you think would be better? Thanks!

    • Reply Swah July 25, 2019 at 8:56 pm

      I would use the 6 small cake pan, and if there is any batter leftover you can make some cupcake size ones too (just remember to cook them for slightly less time)

        Thank you!

    Is the butter salted?

    • Reply Swah October 12, 2021 at 11:21 am

      I personally prefer using salted butter in my baking recipes as I find the salt balances the sweet well – you can of course use unsalted if you prefer!
