The pretty red color makes it the perfect dessert for Valentine’s Day, 4th of July and Christmas.

THE FROSTING
My Homemade Cream Cheese Frosting, made with just four ingredients, is fabulous on this Red Velvet Bundt Cake. It’s very easy to make.
MINI RED VELVET BUNDT CAKES
Use this recipe to make Mini Red Velvet Bundt Cakes.
Spoon 2-1/2 tablespoons of cake batter in each cup in a mini Bundt cake pan.
HELPFUL BAKING TIPS
1. Always sift the all-purpose flour before using. After sifting, spoon flour into measuring cup. Level off with a knife. Too much flour causes dry, poor tasting cakes.
2. Make sure unsalted butter is softened (not a melted liquid).
3. Add eggs one at a time.
4. Make sure you have enough time to mix the ingredients and bake the cake. For example, after making the cake batter, pour it into the baking pan instead of waiting until later.
TEST BAKING SODA FOR EFFECTIVENESS
This recipe calls for 1-1/2 teaspoons of baking soda.
If it has been previously opened and in the pantry for one or two months, test before using to make sure it’s active.
Simply drop 1/4 teaspoon full into a small cup with about 2 tablespoons of distilled white vinegar.
It’s active and ready to use if it bubbles vigorously.
If it’s a light fizz or no fizz, discard. Do not use in this recipe.
BAKING TIPS
Bake in 350 preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until a wooden skewer or knife inserted in center comes out clean.
Allow to cool before frosting with Homemade Cream Cheese Frosting.
COOL BAKED CAKE
Leave in pan at least 20 minutes before inverting onto a plate.
ENJOY!
