What is a Bundt Cake?
A Bundt cake isn’t a type of cake. Rather it’s named after the shape of the container it’s baked in. A Bundt pan has fluted sides and a ‘chimney’ in the center, to give these cakes their distinctive shape.
Bundt cakes have been getting ever more popular and you can buy these at lots of bakeries. In fact there are some bakeries that only sell different kinds of Bundt cakes!
So where are they from?
Well, Bundt cakes are believed to derive from Gugelhupf, which is a European brioche type of cake. If you have a Bundt cake pan you can make all kinds of cakes in this shape and then drizzle frosting on top. Bundt cakes are fun to make, especially cute mini strawberry Bundt cakes!
How to Make These Mini Strawberry Cakes
You can choose to make strawberry mini Bundt cakes or one large one. So either use six mini pans or one regular size bundt pan. The first thing to do is beat the sugar with the butter. The easiest way to do this is with a stand mixer or a hand mixer, whichever you have. Eggs, milk, sour cream, vanilla, and strawberry flavoring also go into this mixture.
In another mixing bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt are then combined along with some food coloring. That’s the cake batter all done and now you just have to pour it into the Bundt pan (or mini pans) and bake it (or them!) in the oven.
How to Make the Glaze
One of the best things about this easy strawberry dessert recipe is the glaze. If you’re making it for a birthday or as dessert for Mother’s Day, Easter , shower, or a cookout you will want to get the glaze just right.
The glaze for this strawberry cake made with jello is simple. It’s a basic combination of powdered sugar, milk and strawberry flavoring. Simply whisk everything together in a bowl until combined. Remember not to pour the glaze over the cake until it’s completely cool though. Give the glaze at least five minutes to set before serving.
Strawberry Bundt Cake Recipe Tips!
So now that you know how to make strawberry mini cakes, you’ll want some tips and tricks! If you’re new to making Bundt cakes, or making any kind of cakes, it’s best to stick closely to the recipe. I like to play around with recipes and change the ingredients sometimes but this one is great as it stands.
There are a few substitutions you could try, however, such as using Half & Half or water instead of the milk in the glaze. The milk is just for moisture and consistency anyway. If it seems to be too thin, just mix in some extra sugar. If it’s not thin enough, add a little more milk, or whichever liquid you’re using. You can also use plain yogurt rather than sour cream in the batter if you want.
When you first take the mini strawberry Bundt cakes out of the oven, let them rest. Give them at least fifteen minutes to cool down before attempting to remove them from the pans. This applies whether you’re making individual ones or one large cake.
Just kind of jiggle the pan a little and turn the cake out on to a plate. It should slide out, thanks to gravity! Also, if you use metal pans grease them well before use.. If you use a silicon pan, a light mist of non-stick spray should be sufficient.
How to Decorate Mini Strawberry Bundt Cakes
The best part about this strawberry cake made with jello (well apart from eating it!) is the decorating. I love decorating cakes and cookies, whether that is with frosting, a glaze or even getting creative with little candies and so on.
These mini strawberry cakes can be decorated however you wish. If you are making mini strawberry Bundt cakes, you might like to add a fresh strawberry to the center of each one. If you are making one large one instead, perhaps as dessert for Mother’s Day, Easter or a shower, you have other options. Perhaps strawberry slices around the top would be good, or you might prefer just to add the glaze or powdered sugar.
