These mini bundts are made from are a very simple cheater cake recipe that uses cake and pudding mixes. Sounds pretty righteous eh? It should have been. I mixed up all the batter and put it into my mini bund pan.
No problem though. Right? So I'll just cook these little guys for a bit longer than the recipe says. And sure enough, after 25 minutes, a toothpick came out clean. So out of the oven they came.
Here's where a picture would have been great. I thought I'd taken one, but alas. The little bundts came out of the oven domed over the top of the pan. Woah. They mega rose! Maybe I filled them up too much. But wait, as you can see in the above picture, I filled them 3/4 full.
The recipe didn't say that they needed to cool in the pan for any specified time, so after about 5 minutes I began to freak that they might decide to stick to the pan. I turned these little cakes out onto a cooling rack like I would any muffin or cake. Ten minutes later I had this:
Wha'happen?!!!!
Nice little cakie cake went splat.
I wish I knew what I did wrong.
How did they taste? Meh. I made a cinnamon glaze for them and it never set up. (Maybe dessert was just doomed the day I made this.) I think the runny cinnamon glaze was probably the best part.
As I am my own worst critic, I hated them. Mrblocko said it was good, just not his favorite dessert ever, and that I make lots of other things he likes better. I'm pretty sure he was just being nice. Now Blockette? She thought this was the best dessert ever on the planet/history of time. At least someone was over the moon about them!
