1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
-
2/3 cup granulated sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
1/2 cup milk
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
-
1/4 tsp salt
For the Custard Filling:
-
1 cup whole milk
-
2 tbsp cornstarch
-
1/4 cup granulated sugar
-
2 egg yolks
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 tbsp unsalted butter
For the Ganache:
-
1/2 cup heavy cream
-
4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
-
1 tsp corn syrup (optional, for shine)
Instructions
Make the Custard:
-
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk milk, cornstarch, and sugar until warm.
-
In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks. Slowly whisk some warm milk into yolks to temper, then return the mixture to the saucepan.
-
Stir constantly until thickened. Remove from heat, stir in butter and vanilla. Cool completely.
Make the Cakes:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini bundt cake pan.
-
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk into the butter mixture, mixing just until combined.
-
Fill mini bundt molds about 3/4 full. Bake 18–20 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.
Fill and Glaze:
-
Use a piping bag or small spoon to fill each cake center with cooled custard.
-
Heat cream to a simmer, pour over chopped chocolate. Let sit 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Stir in corn syrup if desired.
-
Drizzle or dip cakes in ganache. Let ganache set before serving.
Notes
-
These mini cakes can be made a day ahead—store refrigerated and glaze just before serving.
-
Use a filling tip or core the bundts for easier custard filling.
-
For extra flair, sprinkle with gold dust or chocolate shavings.
