Mini Pumpkin Bundt Cakes

These are the perfect dessert for the Fall season.  Mini Pumpkin Bundt Cakes are an easy dessert that’s perfect for Thanksgiving, Halloween, or any kind of get-together with family or friends.

What’s even better about this recipe is that you don’t need any special cake carving skills to make the cakes look like pumpkins…the bundt pans make the perfect pumpkin shape.

Once the cakes have cooked and cool, you stack them on top of each other to get the cute pumpkin shape.  How easy is that?

I used pretzel sticks to make the stem of the pumpkins, but you could use a rectangle shape candy bar.  Get creative with the stems!

Helpful Kitchen Tools

• Mini Bundt Pan
• Orange Fall Sprinkles
• Cooling Rack – place the mini bundt cakes on top of the cooling rack that’s on top of a baking tray when pouring the icing on top for easy cleanup.

How to Make Mini Pumpkin Bundt Cakes

This recipe will make 6 mini bundt cakes but then you stack the cakes on top of each other to make the “pumpkin” so it’s really THREE cakes you’re making.  I used a regular vanilla cake mix, but you can use any flavor cake mix you like.  These would be great with a spice cake mix too!

Make sure you print the recipe card out below! 

Ingredients:

• 1 box vanilla cake mix with ingredients required on the box
• Orange candy melts
• Chocolate candy melts
• Canned white frosting
• Pretzel sticks
• Assorted sprinkles

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare mini bundt pan with a generous coating of nonstick spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk or beat together the cake mix, plus the ingredients required on the box.
3. Divide evenly between the mini bundt pan.
4. Bake 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few crumbs.
5. Remove from oven, then let sit in pan about 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Once cooled completely, slice off any excess from the bottom of each cake to ensure they are flat.
7. To assemble, flip a cake over cut side-up on a flat surface, then finish the pumpkin; by placing a cake cut side-down on top. Try your best to line up the design of the bundt ridges.
8. For the candy melt coating, melt the orange and chocolate candy melts in two separate bowls according to package directions, stirring until smooth.
9. In a separate bowl, melt the white frosting 15-30 seconds in the microwave, or until smooth and more liquidy.
10. Drizzle each assembled pumpkin; with a separate color, allowing to drip down the sides. Sprinkle quickly with desired sprinkles, then place a pretzel stick in the center as the stem.
11. Allow to set, about 15-30 minutes.
