Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is ready for baking the mini bundt cakes at the correct temperature.
- Prepare the Pan: Grease and flour the mini bundt pan thoroughly to prevent the cakes from sticking and to help with easy removal after baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasoning.
- Cream Butter and Eggs: In a separate large bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter until smooth and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, beating the mixture well until fully incorporated and light.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overworking the batter which can make cakes dense.
- Fold in Strawberries: Carefully fold in the chopped fresh strawberries, ensuring they are evenly dispersed throughout the batter without crushing them.
- Fill the Mini Bundt Pan: Pour the prepared batter evenly into each mold of the mini bundt pan, filling about two-thirds full to allow space for rising during baking.
- Bake the Cakes: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean indicating the cakes are fully baked.
- Cool and Remove: Allow the cakes to cool in the pan for several minutes before carefully removing them. Let them cool completely on a wire rack to prevent breakage and achieve the best texture.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and moisture.
- Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easy creaming.
- Filling the molds about 2/3 full prevents overflow and ensures even baking.
- Cool the cakes completely before serving or glazing to maintain their structure.
- These mini cakes can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
