Mini Spiced Chocolate Gugelhupfs

August 23 2017
« SCROLL PHOTOS LEFT TO RIGHT »

This week’s new recipe are these beautiful Spiced Chocolate Gugelhupfs, aka. Baby Bundt Cakes. These little delights were inspired by an upcoming trip I have planned to Berlin next week for a secret Miele event where they will be revealing a revolutionary innovation in cooking. Very exciting!!

Gugelhopfs are traditionally light yeasted marble cakes baked in large bundt molds. In this recipe, I have put my own little twist on the gugelhupf and have created a cake version of this sweet treat. No yeast or kneading involved! The cake itself is light with a moist crumb and spiced dark chocolate swirled through the batter. Delicious!

These baby bundt cakes are the perfect little sweet treat for any occasion, especially Christmas because of all their lovely spices.

Enjoy!
