Kids will love it when you let them help you bake this Everything Mini Bundt Cake, the cutest little cake ever. Bake mini Bundt cakes with your children or grandchildren. A natural sugar treat, it’s made with chunks of yummy ingredients.

Everything Mini Bundt cakes remind me of fruitcakes because they are full of chunkiness. The difference between the two is in the choice of ingredients. Both have nuts and raisins, Everything Minis, however, don’t have any other fruit whereas fruitcakes are loaded with fruit.

I like the chunky texture of these little Bundts. Some people, though, prefer smooth over chunky when they eat cake. For example, I bake occasionally for my three little grandchildren when I visit them or when they come to my house. My two youngest grandchildren usually accept my treats gladly. However, their older sibling is a bit more particular with her food tastes. She is always curious about what I’ve baked and wants to snack along with her sister and brother. The difference is that she especially notices when a recipe isn’t as sweet as what she’s used to.

During December 2018 when I switched from baking with white sugar and white flour to natural sugars and whole grains, I thought of white sugar in a way I hadn’t before. It’s evil. Don’t you think? Consider how children go crazy with excitement within minutes after eating donuts or candy. They act up. They get irritable. The least thing makes them have a meltdown.

After receiving Victorious Health Recipes cookbook in the mail, I started trying out the recipes. But I was so used to baked goodies that tasted really sweet that when I baked the desserts, they weren’t sweet enough for me. Nevertheless, I kept making the healthy dishes and treats from the book. The differences in the ingredients, as opposed to my normal home-baked favorites, are the types of sugar and flour used.

Baking for Grandchildren is Love

Like many of the Victorious Health baked specialties, Everything Mini Bundts are made with honey. I came up with this recipe after baking Victorious Health’s Banana Cake recipe. A fun idea of adding a bunch of yummy ingredients popped into my mind. My daughter and her family were coming for a visit. Of course, the grandmom love part of me kicked into high gear with baking something special. That “special” was the banana cake because I had boocoos of extremely ripe bananas.

The night before they came, I baked what turned out to look like brownies (my Banana Bar recipe). After the idea of adding a bunch of yumminess and changing up the banana bars, the next morning I got up and made a new treat, the Everything Mini Bundts. They turned out wonderful! First of all, they’re the cutest little cakes. You want to grab a little Bundt and eat the whole thing – which is what the eldest of my three grandchildren visiting did. And then, after a few bites, she (the pickiest of the three littles) decided she wasn’t so sure about the taste.

It was the chunkiness my granddaughter didn’t care for. She prefers a smooth texture of cake. “Grummy,” she asked, “do you have anything else to snack on?”

“I do. How about these?” and opened the container of the banana bars.

She ate a piece then asked for two more. I think she ended up eating four of them that day.

When you start changing up baking ingredients, it can take a while to learn what (and the amounts) works best together. For example, I know now that I like to add more honey to the bread and cake recipes I’ve been making, sometimes double the amount. However, as Shirley (author of Victorious Health books) and I have discussed, I may not want them as sweet after I get used to foods without sugar. And it’s true. I had already limited the amount of sugar in cooking and realized sugary things are way too sweet for me.

Everything Mini Bundt cakes make the yummiest and prettiest little treats to serve family and friends. Although they would, no doubt, taste superb with icing, I chose not to add any. Little Bundts with no frosting means easy handling by little hands with minimal messiness. I do plan to make frostings from Victorious Health Recipes cookbook as well as other icing recipes. When I find one that works well with the Everything Mini Bundts, I’ll post a recipe on the blog.
