  1. First of all, isn’t it obvious??  They are super adorable!!
  2. You get your own mini bundt cake or 6 mini bundt cakes in total.
  3. Pssst…Make sure you should at least get one mini cake to yourself. 🙂  That’s just the rule.
  4. Those mini chips get us every time.  They tempt us so.
  5. These delights have lots of mini chocolate chips suspended in delicious butter cake.
  6. They are topped with chocolate glaze, because, of course, we could always use more chocolate love.  But, you can sub a lovely dusting of powdered sugar or drizzle a simple lovely cream glaze as well.
  7. (Or, nothing at all works too.)  Your call, but we LOVE the sprinkles!
  8. The perfect dessert when entertaining for a dinner party, parties in general and when you’re looking for mini desserts. 🙂  These will get everyone’s attention!
  9. For my cake bundt molds, I used this Nordic Ware Platinum Collection Anniversary Bundtlette Pan.  The mini chocolate chip bundt cakes came out easily out of the molds and looked beautiful.

How to Make Mini Chocolate Chip Cakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray six 1-cup mini fluted tube cake bundt pan molds with nonstick cooking spray for baking.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat softened butter on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add sugar and beat until fluffy.
  4. Add in eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add in vanilla.
  5. Beat in flour mixture alternately with sour cream, beating on low after each addition just until moistened. Fold in 1 cup chocolate chips.
  6. Add the cake mixture to each mold. To make this easy, you can scoop the batter into a large ziplock bag and snip a hole on the end and pipe it into the molds equally.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted near the centers comes out clean. Remove and cool in a pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove from molds. Cool completely.
  8. Melt the remaining baking chips with 3 tablespoons butter until smooth and glossy in a small saucepan over low heat.
  9. Spoon over cooled cakes or transfer cooled glaze mixture to a zip-top bag. Seal and snip one corner of the bag.  Sprinkle tops with mini baking chips or sprinkles.

Tips:  It’s always best to use room temperature ingredients to get the best results when baking!  This includes eggs, sour cream and butter.

  1. Hi,
    I know this is a random question but could you possibly tell me the net weight of your mini chocolate chip Bundt cakes?

    I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

  2. Each of the 6 cavities is 3-1/2″ dia. x 2″ deep, which is larger than your average jumbo cupcake, 2 1/4″ x 1 1/2″. Hope this helps?

  3. Hi! This recipe looks amazing. I’m about to attempt it, so I hope you get this! My pan has 12 mini Bundt forms so I’m wondering if mine are smaller or if I should double the recipe. Can you tell me the volume of one of your molds? Thank you!

  4. Once my family tried this recipe once, we have done it more than five times.This could be a dessert,breakfast,snack, and more!! Just don’t add the icing if eating it in the morning.(You can if you want)

  5. if you want you can put a little more batter in the pan to make 5 and when they rise after you can cut it off to make donuts

  6. Hi Patti! If you have 2 mini bundt pans that would be ok or 2 muffin pans. Not sure how the batter would fare if you had to wait to bake a second batch.

  7. Hi Amy! This recipe is directly from Ghirardelli. Did you measure your flour correctly? Using the scoop and level method? How To Measure Flour -Use a spoon to fluff up the flour within the container. Use a spoon to scoop the flour into the measuring cup. Use a knife or other straight edged utensil to level the flour across the measuring cup. Hope that helps?

  8. Hi Maria! I think you could, this recipe makes 6 mini bundt cakes and a small bundt pan holds 6 cups so it may be close. Just don’t overfill, it should raise up while baking and you will have to bake longer. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a cooling rack. Hope you enjoy! xo

  9. Hi I have a small bundt pan about 6in do you think it would be ok? Or too much batter? And how long should I bake? Thanks

  10. Soo cute! Those mini chocolate chips get me every time too. They’re so small and sweet! These are the cutest, Kim! I want to make them for my boys, they’d love their own little cake! Especially with sprinkles!

  11. I don’t have any mini-bundt pans…yet, so thank you for the tip to use 2 and a half inch muffin pans! The plan is to make these this weekend to keep me sane while I also make everything kale (because, New Year, New Me and all that jazz).

  12. Kim – you’re so right – these are adorable! And there’s nothing better than adorable, unless it’s adorable + chocolate! These look so festive and I can almost taste that moist cake. Yum!

  13. I definitely agree that the baker always gets one whole cake to themselves! That should go without saying. 🙂 These bundts look amazing, Kim. I’m kinda wishing I had a batch of these sitting on the kitchen counter right now. So glad to have discovered your site…these photos are amazing!

  14. These mini bundts are perfection, Kim! So moist, buttery + delicious, I want to reach through the screen and grab them all for myself! 😀

  15. Truly adorable for birthdays and holidays and week ends….. I am glad you have entered into 2019. with another beauty….this is going to be another year of our chocolate friendship dear Kim !
