After seeing all of the deliciousness at last week’s Holiday Recipes link party, I broke down and made cake. Many cakes, to tell the you truth.

While shopping at Value Village, I came across a mini bundt® cake pan that I couldn’t pass up. They make the cutest little cakes (sometimes called cakelets), don’t they?

And then my craving for gingerbread kicked in. Why stop there? Gingerbread with salted caramel pecan sauce. When you’re in that far, you may as well go for it!

Mini Gingerbread Bundt Cakes

A delicious recipe for mini gingerbread bundt cakes with rich and creamy salted caramel pecan sauce. Perfect for holiday entertaining!

Course Dessert

Servings 10

Ingredients

Dry:

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 TB. cocoa powder
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. sea salt
• 2 TB. ground ginger
• 1 ½ tsp. ground cinnamon
• ¼ tsp. freshly grated nutmeg

Wet:

• 1 ¼ cup dark brown sugar lightly packed
• ½ cup sugar
• ½ cup coconut oil melted
• 2 Tb. grated fresh ginger
• ½ tsp. baking soda
• 3 large eggs room temperature
• ½ cup water
• ½ cup buttermilk
• ½ cup fancy molasses

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare pans with butter and flour. Set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg. Whisk together and set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, combine both sugars, coconut oil, baking soda, eggs, water, buttermilk, molasses, and freshly grated ginger.
4. Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until thoroughly combined.
5. Pour the batter into the greased and floured cavities (about 2/3 full) and tap the bottoms against the counter a few times to eliminate any air bubbles.
6. Transfer to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The Baking time will depend on the size of each cavity (until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean). Cool in the pan for 10 minutes (you may have to run a knife along the edge to release), and then invert onto a cooling rack until room temperature.
7. Makes 10-12 mini cakes.

Top with warm salted caramel sauce (see recipe below).

Now for the best part! Load them up with salted caramel sauce!
