Featured Video: How To Make Vanilla Buttercream Frosting
Summer is the season for blueberries. Just last few weeks ago, I made Blueberry Custard Cake Crumble Pie, and this week, I decided to made this Mini Blueberry Bundt Cake. I was thinking of a breakfast cake that is loaded with fruits and I thought of this blueberry cake. Yeah, I eat cake for breakfast.
Blueberries and yogurt in a cake, perfect! I have 4 mini bundt pans and I never to get to use them as often as I want to. This is one perfect opportunity to use it. These cakes are minis, and are perfect for sharing, and for freezing. I used fresh blueberries for this cake, although frozen blueberries will work too. But with blueberries being in season, I wouldn’t pass the opportunity of using the fresh ones. Let’s get started!
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp flavorless oil
- 2 tbsp plain greek yogurt
- 1/2 c sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non dairy will work)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 c fresh or frozen blueberries
Substitution:
- Flavorless oil and yogurt can be substituted with 1/4 cup of butter. The 1/4 cup is already for both NOT 1/4 cup each.
- Blueberry can be substituted with same portion of chopped strawberry
For the Glaze:
- 1/4 cup confectioners/icing sugar
- 1 tsp milk or water
- 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt – this can be substituted with same amount of powdered sugar. Instead of using 1/4, you will have to use 1/2 cup powdered sugar.
- additional blueberries, optional
How to Prepare the Bundt Pan
This is a very important step. Unlike other regular pan, bundt pans has irregular shape and corners. This gives a beautiful shape to the finish product, but when not prepared properly, you will end up ruining your cake. To avoid that, follow this simple step. This process is applicable to any irregular shaped pans (like Madeleine Pan).
- Grease each pan with oil or melted butter.
- Put 1 tsp flour inside the greased bundt pans.
- Cover top with cling wrap or any plastic. I like using cling wrap because they are transparent and I can easily see if which part is not yet fully covered.
- Shake the bundt pan with flour inside, making sure every edge of the pan is covered with flour.
- Remove cling wrap/plastic and tap the bundt pan to remove excess flour. The only remaining flour should be those that stick to the inside of the pan.
- Set aside and start preparing the batter.
