Blueberry Almond Mini Bundt Cakes
The Story:
A Bundt cake. Yes, the “B” is supposed to be capitalized. It’s a trademarked name, didn’t-cha know? I didn’t until 10 seconds ago…Thank you Wikipedia.
Anyway, I feel like Bundt cakes have this weird stigma of something the cheesey neighbors bring over on an ugly platter. Like fruit cake for summer. But after I made these, my baking world has changed. Mini Bundts are incredibly adorable and so easy to do. Just bake the cake, pour over some glaze and add some fresh fruit and you have a masterpiece! Plus, the best part about doing the minis is that you can eat one and no one will ever know! If you make one big Bundt then you have to get a little more creative about snacking on it.
Blueberry Almond Mini Bundt Cakes
Ingredients
- Blueberry Almond Cake:
- 1 box White Cake mix
- 1 small pkg. instant vanilla or white chocolate pudding mix
- 4 eggs
- 2/3 C. oil
- 1/2 C. milk or buttermilk
- 1 C. sour cream
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 tsp almond extract
- 1/2 tsp. nutmeg optional
- 1 1/2 C. blueberries fresh or frozen
Orange Glaze:
- 2 Tbsp. Orange Juice or lemon juice or even more milk
- 1 Tbsp. milk
- 1 1/2- 2 1/2 C. powdered sugar
Sliced Almonds and Fresh Blueberries for decoration
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease mini bundt pans or one regular bundt pan.
- 2. Sift cake mix and instant pudding mix into a small bowl and set aside.
- 3. In a large bowl. combine eggs, oil, milk, sour cream, vanilla extract, almond extract and nutmeg until smooth.
- 4. Stir in cake mix and pudding mix.
- 5. Fold in blueberries.
- 6. Fill mini bundt pans about 2/3 full and bake for 18-25 minutes or until an inserted knife comes out clean. (It's okay if they bake over the center notch, mine did and it holds the glaze quite nicely!) Bake a normal bundt for 35-45 minutes or until an inserted knife comes out clean.
- 7. Glaze: Whisk all ingredients together. Add more powdered sugar if you want a thicker glaze or more milk or juice to thin it out. You want it pourable.
- 8. Let cakes cool and then pour glaze over the cakes, sprinkles sliced almonds on top and fill the holes with blueberries.

Simply Beautiful!
These would be both adorable and yummy to serve at a party of some sort… like a bridal shower or even a baby shower! 🙂 Thanks!!
Naked bundts hahahaha
These are so pretty, dressed up or not! Starting with a mix is so creative and smart . . . thats why I like your site so much. You make things easy, creative, and oh so cute!
I want to make these for my slumber party but my friends aren’t to keen on orange icing/glaze. Is there an alternative? Thanks x
Yes, as I said in the recipe ingredient list you don’t have to use orange juice. You can use lemon or even just use all milk. I just like the little citrus kick.
My god! This cake so beautiful. Can’t wait to make it. Thanks Lizzy,
What kind of pan do you use? Is it a Nordic one?
I think I actually got the Wilton one from Amazon
YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!
Was wondering can these be made in a regular muffins pan or reg bundt pan.
really want to make this
i now see the answer to the bundt pan,scratch that question
Oh yes of course! The baking time will need to be longer for the regular bundt pan, but other then that everything stays the same!
I just found your recipe for the Blueberry Bundt cake on pinterest. I just made it and turn out great. I just made a few change used cheesecake pudding mix and lemon extract. Thank You!!
So pretty! How do you store them, can they be frozen, how far in advance can they be made?
can you mix per directioons but bake in a regular bundt pan
Ooohhhh, I just made these and they taste wonderful. Unfortunately, my frozen blueberries destroyed the cakes. They were so moist, and the blueberries sank and everything just feel apart when they came out of the pan. Lots of sticking 😕
These mini Bundt cakes are not only delicious but they look so beautiful!

I made these today. My blueberries were quite large so when I took the cakes out of the pan a lot of the blueberries were exposed. I will use small ones next time. But the cake is delicious! I just followed the directions exactly.
I made these mini Bundt cakes and they were wonderful!!! I took them to my Bible study and everyone loved them! I am going to try it in the big Bundt pan next.
