These Mini Sweet Potato Bundt Cakes + Cream Cheese Frosting are incredibly moist, soft, and airy with every bite. Bursting with decadent sweet potato flavor, balanced with warm fall spices; these mini cakes are truly a crowd pleaser, especially during the Holidays!
I’m super excited to share these mini bundt cakes with you guys! If you’ve been following Orchids + Sweet Tea, then you know that I love sharing recipes that stem from my Southern roots, ever so often.
Honestly, these recipes are truly my favorite.
When it comes to bundt cakes, I really enjoy making them mini-sized. I’m not a big cake eater—-I’m more of the Birthday cake frosting lover. Haha.
So, when I do eat cake, I prefer bite-sized versions. Hopefully, you have the same sentiments.
Besides, when it comes to the Holidays, it’s so much better to make a few batches of bite-sized foods or desserts to feed a crowd while making things easier for yourself. Don’t you agree?
OK, so I’m such a sweet potato fanatic though. I mean I’d eat sweet potato as a side everyday if I could. Not sure if it’s a Southern thing, but sweet potatoes are LIFE. Haha.
This Vegan Skillet Sweet Potato Casserole is the perfect way to enjoy the Holidays while remaining dairy-free, gluten-free, and naturally sweetened. Such a healthy alternative to a classic dish.
When it comes to this Vegan Sweet Potato Pie, it is smooth, velvety, naturally sweetened, full of sweet potato flavor and is housed with a buttery, flaky crust.
Packed with a velvety roasted inside of mashed sweet potato tossed in shredded sharp cheddar cheese, topped with spinach, fluffy scrambled eggs, and a bold flavor from the brown sugar bacon; these Loaded Spinach, Bacon, Egg, + Cheese Sweet Potato Boats are the perfect way to kick-start your day, meal prep for the week ahead, or even to enjoy for brunch.
You’re sure to LOVE the flavors in these Sweet Potato Berry Breakfast Boats.

Now that Thanksgiving is just a little over a week away, I know how crazy it can be to plan your menu.
As I’ve mentioned before, I really enjoy creating handheld, bite-sized foods and sweets to make things easier while having enough to feed the crowd.
While, I’ll be putting together a post on our best recipes that fit perfectly for Thanksgiving, I’ve rounded up a few of our best handheld, bite-sized recipes that will definitely be a star for the Holidays:

These Southerner’s Banana Pudding Cheesecake Bites are beyond the best remix to the South’s famous Banana Pudding. Packed with the original sweet flavors, this recipe adds a nice spice which stems from it’s gingersnap cookie crust and the creaminess definitely comes from the burst of cream cheese in ever bite.
Let’s dig right into this recipe, shall we?
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease your mini bundt cake pan with butter or cooking spray to make things easier when removing these little cakes.
In a small bowl, add Almond milk and lemon juice, stirring them together and set aside for 5 minutes or so, to create a dairy-free ‘buttermilk’.
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, beat together on low speed—the sugar, eggs (one at a time), and vanilla, for 1-2 minutes, scraping the sides if needed. Add the mashed sweet potatoes and continue to beat until smooth. Finally, add in the sour cream and beat again, until well incorporated.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, all spice, cloves, and sea salt.
Turn the speed to low and add in half the amount of dry ingredients, until well incorporated. Now, add half of the Non-dairy ‘Buttermilk’ mixture and continue mixing until well combined.
Add the other half of flour and continue mixing until well combined again. End things off with the remaining Non-dairy ‘Buttermilk’ mixture.
Pour the batter into each bundt cake cavity, about 2 Tbsps and using a butter knife, spread around evenly.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, just until the center of each cake is cooked through. **NOTE: You can use a toothpick or baking skewer to test this out; either should come out clean once inserted and removed.**
Remove from the oven and let cool for about 15 minutes before removing them from cake pan to continue to cool.
To Make Cream Cheese Glaze/Frosting:
Simply combine the cream cheese and butter in the bowl of an electric mixer & beat together on medium-high speed until fluffy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream, continuing to mix on medium speed until you reach the desired consistency. **Add more heavy (1 Tbsp at a time if too thick) or powdered sugar (for more thickness).*
Once fully cooled, pipe on the Cream Cheese Glaze, lightly sprinkle with cinnamon (optional), and enjoy!
Bon Appetit!
