Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box white cake mix
- Mixed Easter candy (M&Ms, jelly beans, mini eggs)
Glaze Ingredients:
- 2 cups confectioners sugar
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) milk
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) lemon juice
Flavoring and Decorative Ingredients:
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) vanilla extract
- Gel food coloring (pastel colors)
Instructions
- Meticulously prepare the mini bundt cake pan by generously coating with butter and dusting with flour, ensuring a smooth release for six medium-sized cakes.
- Craft the cake batter following package instructions or a preferred white cake recipe, carefully pouring into the prepared pan and baking according to recommended temperature and time.
- Allow cakes to cool completely at room temperature, then gently trim the bottom of each cake with a sharp knife to create a stable, flat surface for standing.
- Whisk confectioners sugar, milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until achieving a smooth, pourable consistency. Adjust thickness by adding milk or powdered sugar as needed. Separate glaze into smaller bowls and tint with gel food coloring to create soft pastel hues.
- Transform each bundt cake into a festive surprise by densely filling the center cavity with an assortment of colorful Easter candies, maximizing the dramatic reveal when sliced.
- Elegantly drizzle tinted glaze over the cake tops, taking care to preserve the candy-filled center. Embellish with additional decorative Easter candies for a whimsical finishing touch.
Notes
- Choose the right pan for mini bundt cakes to ensure uniform baking and easy removal.
- Butter and flour the pan generously to prevent sticking and create a clean cake surface.
- Use gel food coloring for vibrant pastel glazes that won’t thin out the mixture.
- Pack candy tightly into the cake’s center to maximize the surprise element when slicing.
- Select small, lightweight candies like mini eggs or jelly beans that won’t sink into the cake batter.
- Allow cakes to cool completely before cutting to maintain structural integrity.
- Create a smooth glaze by whisking ingredients thoroughly and adjusting consistency with milk or powdered sugar.
- For gluten-free options, substitute regular cake mix with a gluten-free alternative.
