Ingredients
For the Mini Bundt Cakes:
1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup (120ml) buttermilk
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, chopped (or use dried) — tiny wild blueberries also work beautifully
For the White Chocolate Glaze:
1 cup (170g) white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
3 tbsp heavy cream
½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini Bundt pan with butter or nonstick spray. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla. Alternate adding dry ingredients and buttermilk, starting and ending with the dry mixture. Gently fold in cranberries. Spoon batter into prepared pans, filling each about ¾ full. Bake 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely.
To make the glaze, melt white chocolate and cream together in 15-second microwave intervals, stirring until smooth. Stir in vanilla and let cool slightly before drizzling over the cakes. Decorate with crushed peppermint, chopped pistachios, or sparkling sugar if desired.
Tips for Success
Use room-temperature ingredients for a tender crumb. Toss berries in a little flour to prevent sinking. If the glaze is too runny, chill briefly before drizzling.
Serving Ideas
Serve as mini desserts for your holiday table or wrap individually as edible gifts. Perfect with coffee, hot cocoa, or spiced tea.
