Ingredients

For the Cake Batter:

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 ¾ cups cake flour
  • ¾ cups dark cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoons salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cups milk
  • ½ cups applesauce
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cups boiling water

For the Chocolate Ganache:

  • 6 oz. semisweet chocolate finely chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
  • ½ cup heavy cream

For Decorating:

  • shredded coconut easter decorations or mini cake toppers

Instructions

  • For the Cake Batter:In a large bowl, mix the sugar, cake flour, dark cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Add the eggs, milk, applesauce and almond extract; beat on medium for 2 minutes.
  • Next, stir in the boiling water and mix well.
  • Fill the mini bundt cake pan with chocolate cake batter in each well about ¾ full.
  • Add a Milk Way Simply Caramel Unwrapped Bite into the center of each filled well.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the side of the cake (avoid the caramel center, because that should be liquidy)
  • Allow to cool for about 5 minutes in the pan after being removed from oven.
  • While they are cooling, prepare the Chocolate Ganache. (directions below)
  • Turn out the mini bundt cakes onto a cooling rack after 5 minutes.
  • For the Chocolate Ganache:In a heatproof bowl, combine the chocolate and butter.
  • In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the cream just to a boil.
  • Immediately pour the cream over the chocolate and butter. Whisk until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
  • Drizzle the Chocolate Ganache over the chocolate bundt cakes.
  • Top with some shredded coconut and Easter decorations for a cute, Easter themed mini bundt cake.
