Mini Pumpkin Spice Bundt Cakes FAQs

How long to bake mini bundt cakes?

Typically, mini bundt cakes are baked at around 350°F for 15 to 25 minutes. To check for doneness, use a toothpick or cake tester in the center of a cake; if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, the cakes are done. 

What size is a mini bundt cake?

Mini bundt cake molds typically have a standard size of about 4 inches in diameter and 2 inches in height. However, mini bundt cake pans come in various shapes and sizes, so the exact dimensions may vary slightly depending on the specific pan you’re using. 

How do you get mini bundt cakes out of the pan?

To successfully remove mini bundt cakes from the pan without sticking, follow these steps: Allow the cakes to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes after baking. Then, gently run a knife around the edges to loosen them. Place a cooling rack or plate on top of the pan, invert it, and tap gently to release the cakes. Cool completely before serving or frosting. Properly greasing and flouring the pan before baking can help prevent sticking.

Can I freeze these mini bundt cakes?

Absolutely! Once baked and cooled, you can wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil before placing them in the freezer. They should stay fresh for up to three months.

Can I make a larger bundt cake instead of mini ones?

Yes, you can adapt this recipe for a standard-sized pumpkin bundt cake. Adjust the baking time, which will be longer than for mini bundt cakes. Use a toothpick or cake tester to check for doneness.
