Cuties in 10-15 minutes
Just did my first experiment with this mini BUNDT pan. They really do look like mini little BUNDT pans..so cute..with each having their own little tube in the middle. This is what I learned.
I didn't want to ruin my efforts using a scratch recipe in case this pan was a flop, so I plunked down $1.00 and used a box mix, (Tip: I always add a 1/2 cup of extra floor to box mixes so cakes aren't so crumbly).
With that said, the instructions on the PAN says to fill 2/3 full... I didn't know where 2/3 was😜, so I winged it and filled them "just so the top of tube shows"..then, as they baked, I saw they puffed up like a cupcake and I couldn't see the tube anymore..OOPS! Well.. it didn't fail my first try. It's just you'll get larger cakes w/ a bigger mushroom bottom...and once turned over to display the BUNDT design, they look just fine. However, it's the "maximum size" you could make I would say.
While they were cooling on a rack, I washed and sprayed the pan again. My second batch I filled them less, which you probably should do actually....say to 1/2 way up the BUNDT tube. They came out a smaller/"tea size".
Tip: ..Save your self some tedious time involved in brushing "Crisco" in every nook and cranny, and invest in a "baking" spray, like "Baker's Joy"...not "cooking" spray like Pam. Your cakes slide right out, honest!
Now the real SURPRISE was...one boxed cake mix (with that extra 1/2cup of flour) yield 2 dozen of these cute little cakes.
And had I not filled the first tray so full, I'd probably would have gotten another 6 cakes...so 36 cakes is awesome don't ya think?
Obviously, you will have to REFILL the pan once the first batch is done, or BUY 2 TRAYS.
AND....last but not least...you only BAKE(or I'd imagine anything in this particular pan), 10-15 MINUTES TOPS! Dont use box mix times. Cool the pan 10 minutes and then plop them out on rack with BUNDT design up, to finish cooling.
