Ingredients
Method
Mini Chocolate Bundt Cakes
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 12-cavity mini bundt pan using Baker's Joy spray or melted shortening and a dusting of cocoa powder. Tap out any excess.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until just combined.
- With the mixer on low, slowly add the hot coffee and mix until the batter is smooth. Fold in the mini chocolate chips if using.
- Transfer the thin batter into a piping bag or a large measuring cup with a spout. Fill each bundt cavity about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 22 to 26 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Chocolate Ganache
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir until smooth. If needed, heat in 15-second bursts until fully melted. Let the ganache cool slightly.
- Spoon the ganache over the cooled mini bundt cakes. Garnish with sprinkles, berries, or whipped cream if desired.

Notes
For 6 mini bundts, halve all ingredients.
These cakes can also be baked as cupcakes; just dip the tops in the ganache.
Make sure to grease the bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
The batter is thin, so a piping bag makes filling the cavities much easier.
Store leftover cakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
The ganache can be made ahead and reheated in the microwave.
For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips in the ganache.
