Equipment

  • mini bundt pans

Ingredients

For the mini bundt cakes

  • 2 cups flour
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup oil
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 eggs

For the maple bourbon glaze

  • 4 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon bourbon
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

To make the cake

  • Heat the oven to 350, and grease the hell out of the mini bundt pans to make sure nothing sticks!
  • In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, salt and all three spices. Whisk them all together until smooth.
  • In a medium or large bowl (larger than the first at least), whisk together the pumpkin, oil, sour cream and eggs.
  • Add your flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture and fold together. Don’t whisk together, fold with a spatula, the batter will be thick.
  • Put batter ⅔ full in each bundt pan. Bake for about 25-30 minutes. When finished, let the cakes sit in the bundt pans for about five minutes before taking out of the pans and cooling completely on a wire rack. The cakes must be cooled before adding the glaze.

To make the frosting

  • In a sauce pan melt the butter. Continue cooking until the butter begins turning slightly golden brown in color and begins to smell nutty. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the maple syrup and stir to combine. Then add the bourbon, powdered sugar and salt and whisk until smooth. Let sit for about 10 minutes.
  • After the glaze has cooled for 10 minutes drizzle over the cooled mini bundt cakes.

Notes

Mini pumpkin bundt cakes can be covered and kept for up to four days with the maple bourbon glaze. The cakes can be frosted, UNGLAZED and tightly wrapped for up to a month.
