This Recipe for a mini red velvet bundt cake is based on a classic red velvet cake. A classic Red velvet pound cake batter, baked in mini bundt pans. or baked in similar size small pans.

This red velvet mini cake is a tender, moist crumb, cake. With that hint of cocoa powder, buttermilk, and vinegar, giving that spot-on red velvet taste.

Ingredients you will need

For the Baby bundt cake

All-purpose flour - Plain all-purpose flour Or cake flour. I've used plain all-purpose flour. Measure and then sift.

Cocoa powder - unprocessed cocoa powder. Using cocoa powder with vinegar and buttermilk, is what gives red velvet cake the tangy taste.

salt - to taste about a ¼ to ½ tsp

baking soda - our leavening agent here.

Oil - We use oil for a nice moist red velvet cake. You can use canola, vegetable oil, sunflower oil, or olive oil. Using oil gives a moist cake, and when combined with other ingredients make the crumb more tender.

Butter - yes, a combination of butter with the oil gives a stable structure to the cake. In this recipe, we use melted butter. So unsalted butter melted.

Sugar - white granulated sugar

eggs - whole eggs

buttermilk - buttermilk. You may use store-bought buttermilk or make it at home.

To make buttermilk at home - ¾ cup yogurt + ¼ cup water. Churned in the food processor.

Vinegar - The combination of vinegar and buttermilk and that little cocoa is what gives you that perfect red velvet taste.

For the Cream Cheese Glaze

Cream Cheese - room temperature softened cream cheese block. Not the spreadable one.

Icing Sugar - confectioners sugar or icing sugar is what you will need here.

Milk - a little milk to adjust the consistency and make it more like a glaze.

vanilla extract - mandatory flavoring. Now if you are using pure vanilla extract, then your glaze will not be striking white. in that case, you may use clear vanilla extract.

1. you may use normal metal bundt cake pans, or mini ones. The size of each bundt will range anywhere between 2.5 inches to about 4 inches.

How to prepare a mini bundt pan for baking

Irrespective of the kind of bundt cake pan you are using. You will have to prepare the pan well. since you do not use any parchment paper for this kind of pan, you will have to grease them well.

Metal bundt pans or silicone bundt moulds.

there are a few ways you can prepare your pans.

One is to use a nonstick spray or a baking spray or a cake goop homemade pan release

For Cake goop - you may use this cake goop recipe from sugar geek

1. Use a clean dry pan. Wipe off excess moisture if any.
2. Use melted butter and a pastry brush. smear and brush the melted butter on the pan. Make sure you grease the pan really well. In every nook and corner, without leaving any crevices.
3. Greasing is really very important to get clean smooth shiny bundt cakes.
4. Dusting the pan with flour is optional. i would not personally recommend doing it, because it does not give a super smooth shining bundt cake.

Mixing and Baking these mini red velvet bundt Cakes

First mix in the dry ingredients - flour, cocoa powder, and salt. and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, add in the melted butter, oil, and sugar. beat well until smooth,

To this add in the eggs, vanilla extract, buttermilk, and red food coloring. mix well.

Bake in a preheated oven at about 170C/340 F, for about 20 mins.

Silicon molds, take a little longer than traditional metal pans.

Once the cake is baked. Remove from the oven, and let it sit for about 10 mins. Then slowly de-mold the cake from the pan. This 10 min is essential. Demoulding immediately after taking the cake from the oven will make the cake crumble and stick. And a little longer in the pan will also make the cake stick to the pan.
