Recipe Overview

• Prep Time: 20 minutes
• Cook Time: 20 minutes
• Total Time: 40 minutes
• Yield: 6 mini bundt cakes

Ingredients

For the Cake:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• ¾ tsp baking powder

• ¾ tsp baking soda

• ½ tsp salt

• 1 tsp instant coffee powder

• ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 2 Eggland's Best eggs, large

• ½ cup whole milk

• ¼ cup vegetable oil

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Peppermint Ganache:

• 1 cup peppermint candy melts

• ⅓ cup heavy whipping cream

• 2 tbsp crushed peppermint candy (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease the mini bundt pan cavities with oil and coat them lightly with flour.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients:

• Flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, coffee powder, cocoa powder, and sugar.

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients:

• Eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract.

Step 4: Combine and Bake

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Scoop the batter into the bundt pan, filling each cavity ⅔ full. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Step 5: Cool the Cakes

Let the cakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack.

Step 6: Prepare the Peppermint Ganache

In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the heavy whipping cream for 1 minute. Add the peppermint candy melts and let them sit for 5 minutes. Stir gently until the mixture becomes smooth and glossy.

Step 7: Decorate

Drizzle the ganache over the cooled bundt cakes and sprinkle crushed peppermint candies on top for a festive finish.
