Whilst tidying my baking cupboard where I keep my stash of baking pans, I came across my beloved Bundt tins and trays. And when I mean stash, I am not exaggerating. One of my crazy obsessions is collecting baking trays, pans and vintage cutlery, along with every possible baking appliance on the planet. Both old and new, each one has a special meaning to me. So here is a little recipe to make in small bundt pans or as cupcakes if you prefer.
A Bundt cake is characterised by its distinctive ring or tube shape. Bundt pans were originally only made from cast aluminium but today there are so many different kinds, including my favourite silicone bundt moulds. Removing your cake from a silicone mould is so easy, as you can literally peel the mould off the cake instead of having to knock your cake out of the hard pans. Bundt cakes are not generally associated with any one recipe in particular, which means you can use any of your favourite cake or cup cake recipes to make these gorgeous little delights.
I served these Mini Chocolate Bundt Cakes dusted with icing sugar , a delicious cherry preserve and dollaps of whipped cream . This dark cherry compote, slightly tart yet strangely sweet, complimented the chocolate beautifully.
