Small butter cakes hide cocoa swirls beneath a powdered-sugar dusting. Their ridged edges bake golden while the centers stay soft.
Two shades of batter make Mini Bundt Cakes feel special with very little extra work. A spoonful of plain batter goes in first, followed by cocoa batter that forms a dark ribbon as the cakes rise.
Brush every groove of the pan with butter and dust lightly with flour. Let the cakes rest only briefly before unmolding; waiting until they are cold can make the edges cling to the metal.
Method
Heat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Melt 2 tbsp butter and brush into twelve mini Bundt cavities about 1/3 cup each. Dust with 2 tbsp of the flour and tap out excess.
Beat remaining butter with sugar and salt until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Whisk remaining flour with baking powder and fold into the batter.
Mix cocoa powder with milk until smooth. Put a spoonful of plain batter in each cavity, then fold the cocoa mixture into the remaining batter and divide among the molds, filling no more than two-thirds full.
Bake for until springy and a skewer comes out clean. Rest in the pan for , turn onto a rack and cool for before dusting with powdered sugar.
