Ingredients
To make these miniature cakes, you need a handful of ingredients. As a registered dietitian, I’m a big fan of incorporating nutritious ingredients into pretty much everything I whip up in my kitchen.
Cake flour: Cake flour provides the perfect flaky texture for these mini Bundt cakes. If you don’t have any on hand, feel free to use all-purpose flour.
Butter: These mini cakes use real butter!
Milk: You need this to make the icing. If you’d like the icing to be more liquidy, feel free to add a ½ teaspoon of additional milk at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
Maple syrup: I love using this as a sweetener, since maple syrup boasts many health-helping polyphenols.
Eggs: Eggs add protein to these cakes!
Greek yogurt: I also added plain Greek yogurt to the these mini cakes. The yogurt adds a terrific creaminess and allowed me to cut down on the butter in this tasty dessert.
Frozen wild blueberries: These miniature cakes get their vibrant color and a lot of their taste from frozen wild blueberries, one of my fave ingredients that has more than double the antioxidants of traditional blueberries and is just so good for you.
And the anthocyanins, a type of antioxidant in wild blueberries, are connected with health benefits, including a possible decrease in risk of type 2 diabetes.
Powdered sugar: These wild blueberry Greek yogurt miniature cakes are topped with an easy-to-whip-up vanilla drizzle glaze, which is made with powdered sugar.
Step-by-step instructions
To make these wild blueberry miniature cakes, first preheat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit.
Next, in a medium mixing bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. In another medium mixing bowl, combine butter, maple syrup, ½ cup milk, eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and yogurt.
Add flour mixture to wet mixture, stirring gently. Fold in wild blueberries.
Coat a mini Bundt cake tray with spray oil; then spoon batter into tray, filling about three fourths of the way full. Bake for about 15 to 18 minutes, until cooked through.
When the cake comes out of the oven, use a toothpick or a cake tester inserted into the center. Make sure a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
This is how you can tell that the light and fluffy cakes are done! Once the mini cakes have cooled in the pan, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the icing, combine powdered sugar with remaining milk and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Spoon homemade vanilla icing over mini cakes once they’re mostly cooled.
My suggestion is to ice the cakes a few minutes before serving, when the cakes are at room temperature.
Recipe FAQ
To make these cakes mini, I used a mini bundt cake pan. You could absolutely use a muffin pan or mini cake tins, but I think the cakes come out a little more unique and pretty in bundt cake form!
You might want to make a little extra sugar frosting, because the easy drizzle icing recipe is also wonderful on top of pound cakes, bundt cakes, and more.
Nope! You could eat these mini cakes plain. Or if you’re feeling adventurous, you can swap the icing drizzle for a blueberry reduction.
