We are big fans of Aunt Sue’s famous pound cake around here. And there’s only one thing better than one pound cake – several mini pound cakes! These mini bundt cakes look almost too cute to eat. But when you take a bite, you’re rewarded with a taste of the moistest and most buttery vanilla pound cake ever.

Fortunately, it’s so easy to whip up one of Aunt Sue’s famous pound cakes. In fact, I bet you even have the list of simple ingredients at home right now: eggs, butter, sugar, flour, whipping cream, and vanilla extract. All you have to do is cream the ingredients together, pour them into mini bundt cake molds and they’ll be ready in just 30 minutes.

You can also go wild and serve your mini bundt cakes however you like. I love a slice of pound cake with Mama’s custard sauce, but you could also serve these with a simple vanilla icing or a dollop of whipped cream and fresh berries.

Helpful Kitchen Tools

Grease your mini bundt pan molds with cooking spray and set out the eggs and butter to allow them to come to room temperature.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth.

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating for one minute after each addition.

Sift the flour and add it to the creamed mixture, and with the whipping cream. Mix together completely.

Next add in the vanilla extract.

Fill your bundt pan molds halfway with the cake batter and place them in a cold oven. Turn the oven to 300 and bake for 30 minutes or when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Cool the mini pound cakes completely before you take them out of the bundt cake pan.

How to make a simple vanilla icing

Drizzle Mama’s custard sauce on these mini bundt cakes for an amazing flavor and texture.

Drizzle the custard sauce immediately over the cooled cakes.

You can also add a bit of whipped cream to each mini cake after adding the custard if you like.

Enjoy!

Storage

Store your mini bundt cakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
You can also freeze the unglazed cakes in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Recipe Notes

If you don’t have mini bundt cake pans, you can use a muffin pan instead.
Interested in mini lemon bundt cakes instead? Add two tablespoons of lemon juice and the zest of two lemons to your bundt cake batter. You can also use lemon juice in the icing instead of milk (with lemon zest), to enhance the lemon flavor.
For gluten-free mini bundt cakes, use almond flour instead. You could also substitute the vanilla extract for almond extract.
You could also opt to drizzle each mini bundt cake with a chocolate ganache instead. All you need is 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream (slowly melted in the microwave) combined with 2/3 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Notes

The custard sauce we use is Mama's Custard Sauce to Drizzle over the top.

As you can see this makes A LOT of mini pound cakes which makes it perfect for gifts over the holidays or if you are having a bunch of visitors over, but this could easily be cut into thirds by dividing ingredient amounts by 3 to get 6 mini's for a family dessert too. Enjoy!
