Back to this amazing chocolate peppermint mini cake recipe. It’s ridiculously good. Just a little sour cream and some crushed peppermint really sets this cake apart from other cakes I’ve made.

And the kids really love it. I mean, I started with 24 little mini cakes, but in minutes there were about 18…I didn’t do the math, but I’m pretty sure that meant that everybody in the house got at least one. And I’m afraid to go back and look now. Ha!

How to Make Mini Peppermint Bundt Cakes

I absolutely adore these mini chocolate peppermint bundt cakes. They’re just perfect for a holiday party or even just a snack for the kids during the holiday season. Or a snack for me.

I like to think that you could make this with flour and cocoa powder, maybe some melted chocolate chips and heavy cream instead of frosting. But, at the end of the day, I really like cooking with cake mixes because it’s so much easier and tastes just as good when you add a couple of special ingredients.

With this particular recipe, you just whip up your ingredients in a mixing bowl, put them in a mini bundt pan prepared with cooking spray, then pop them into the preheated oven.

No matter which cake mix you use, the baking time is consistent and you just pull them out when a toothpick inserted in the center come out clean. Let the little mini bundt cakes cool in the pan, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Then you just warm the frosting, pour it over the bundt cakes still on the cooling rack (put a baking sheet or a sheet of parchment paper under it to catch your mess), then sprinkle with more mini chocolate chips and crushed peppermints.

The result is SO AMAZING.

Mini Peppermint Bundt Cakes

Yield: 24
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1 16-ounce carton sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (15-16 ounce)
  • 1 4-ounce package instant pudding mix
  • 1 ½ cups mini chocolate chips
  • 1 container chocolate frosting for topping
  • 10 peppermint candies, crushed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees and grease a mini Bundt pan by spraying it with nonstick spray.
  2. Beat the egg, sour cream and peppermint extract together in a medium bowl.
  3. Mix in the cake mix and instant pudding mix. The batter will be thick, but that's what you want.
  4. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. To keep from making a mess, place the batter into a piping bag and pour it into the prepared mini bundt pan, filling each only halfway full.
  6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick poked in the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the mini cake to cool in the pan for about 30 minutes, transfer onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. To make your glaze, place chocolate frosting in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir the frosting to make sure it's consistently warm throughout, then spoon over the cakes.
  9. Garnish the cakes by sprinkling mini chocolate chips and crushed peppermint candy over the top.
  10. Enjoy!
