Latte Bundt Cakes with White Chocolate Glaze
slightly adapted from Donna Hay
Makes 12
For the Cakes:
80ml espresso coffee
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
80ml milk (I used low fat)
220g caster sugar
125g unsalted butter, melted
150g plain flour (I used cake flour), sifted
1/2 teaspoon baking powder, sifted
1 egg
For the Glaze:
375g milk chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (I used grapeseed oil)
Make the Cakes:
Preheat the oven to 160 C and generously grease a 12-hole baby bundt cake pan. Set aside.
Put the coffee, vanilla, milk and sugar into a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add the melted butter and whisk to incorporate. Add the flour, baking powder and egg and whisk well until smooth.
Pour the batter evenly into the pans and place on a baking tray. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into them comes out clean. Turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Glaze:
Place the chocolate and the oil into a heat-proof bowl and suspend the bowl over a pan of simmering water. Don't let the bowl touch the water. Stir occasionally until it is smooth.
Spoon the glaze over the cakes and allow the glaze to set before serving.
I wish I could live near you so I could take a tea with you and share a latte bundt cakes. Oh yummm!!! Happy Mother's day Jen :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Gabrielle. I wish you lived near me too. We'd have so much fun.
DeleteHappy Mother's Day Jen! These will be super easy to make gluten free. Once made, they will be super easy to share with my Mama. Delicious.
ReplyDeleteThank you Amy. These would be easy to translate into GF. Hope you had a lovely time with your Mum.
DeleteAbsolutely lovely, perfect for Mother's Day! I hope you have a wonderful one!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Marie. Joey made me a cup of tea and brought it to my in bed and woke me up with a kiss. It doesn't get much better than that.
DeleteHappy Mother's Day to you too! Hope you had a lovely one.. I adore little cakes like this. Coffee and white chocolate, so good!
ReplyDeleteThank you Maria. I hope your boys spoiled you too.
DeleteHappy belated Mother's Day to you Jen!! You know what? I still don't own a bundt. I think I need one (or a few, for these delicate little cakes). Beautiful photos as always x
ReplyDeleteThank you Laura. I just HAVE TO own every size and shape cake pan in existence, so I've had one for a while. It regularly slides out of my over-stuffed can pan cupboard and hits my shins, at which point I swear and wonder why I have so many pans...Then I make something like these little cakes and think it's work a few bruised shins.
DeleteThese little cakes are gorgeous, I keep seeing recipes from Donna Hay, that must be a great cookbook, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cheri. Donna Hay is an institution here. She is the author of many books and has her own monthly magazine. She also writes for other publications and has her own merchandise etc. Here is a link to her official page. It features quite a few recipes. I love the styling and photography in her books and magazines.
DeleteI think I just fell in love with your blog :). That white chocolate glaze sounds absolutely delicious!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I'm glad you dropped by.
Deletethey look yummy!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI'm not really a fan of white chocolate, but I think you've just convinced me to give it another try!
ReplyDeleteMe neither. It's usually too sweet for me. But it does work here.
DeleteDo you think this would work with a doughnut pan? I would think it's about the same proportions...
ReplyDeleteYes. I think it would Christy. If you get more than 12 (ie. batter leftover after filling the pan), reduce the baking time. Enjoy.
