Notes
I KNEW I should’ve bought the mini bundt pan I saw at a store!! But that’s o.k. because once I read the tips, I saw I can use a muffin tin pan instead, I have a question though; Should the muffin pan be for regular size muffins or the smaller muffin pan? I gave this recipe 4 stars only because I haven’t made it yet. There are times I have made recipes from blogs, followed the directions to a T & they didn’t come out well. So, I’ll let u know when I make these if in my opinion they deserve 5 stars. Either way, it looks like a good recipe w/ many topping possibilities.
Could this recipe be baked in a doughnut pan?
I haven’t done that but think it would be fine. Just keep an eye on it
Hmmm, I have not made it in a doughnut pan. Report back and let us know how it goes 🙂
gonna try this
I have wanted to purchase a mini bunt pan for some time now. This recipe has made me order one now, so anxious to try this recipe out. I just love ❤ a nice buttery pound cake.
Definitely going to try these in muffin tins, thanks!
Looks like a perfect recipe to make with my grandchildren and then have tea parties!
Looks delicious and so cute!! It also reminds me I have some mini Bundt pans that I have not used in several years. My favorite cake is pound cake and want to make them soon. I do have a question/concern. In the past the cakes did not come out of the mini Bundt pan without some sticking. I have used baking spray, flour and butter and a combination. Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
