- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- Pinch of ground cinnamon

- 2 large organic eggs, at room temp.
- 3/4 cup Very hot water (Let boiling water cool slightly!)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
MAKE THE MINI BUNDT CAKES:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and generously grease your mini bundt cake pan with butter to make things easier when removing these little cakes.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and sea salt.
- In a separate bowl, add together the hot water and cocoa powder----whisking until smooth.
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, beat together on low speed---the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla, scraping down the sides if needed. Add in the cocoa-water mixture and mix until combined.
- Turn the speed to medium-low and add in dry ingredients, mixing until batter becomes smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into each bundt cake cavity, about 2 Tbsps and using a butter knife, spread around evenly. NOTE: It makes things easier when I use a piping bag or ziplock bag.
- 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 completely.
ADD TOPPING:
- Once fully cooled, top with Wilton's Natural Rich Chocolate Icing and sprinkle their Natural Chocolate Jimmies and/or Natural Heart Confetti. Enjoy!
- Bon Appetit!
Notes
- STORAGE: Keep leftover bundt cakes stored for up to 4 days in the fridge.
- GLUTEN-FREE: You can make these bundt cakes GF by substituting the flour with 1-to-1 baking flour blend by Bob's Red Mill and reducing the Almond milk to 1/3 cup and the vegan butter to 1/3 cup.
- BUTTER VS. OIL: If preferred, you can always substitute the unsalted butter with canola oil or vegetable oil.
- CHOCOLATE: You can substitute chocolate chips with chopped chocolate, if desired as well. Also, feel free to add a nice chocolate ganache to the tops instead of Wilton icing.
