Mini Chocolate Bundt Cakes with Peanut Butter Frosting
Dear Stephanie’s Kitchen,
It’s been a while since I’ve been able to sit down and feed you a new post. I think about you ALL of the time. But there is always a bum to change, or someone needs to eat (geez, what am I a full service diner?) or even worse, the 2 year old has taken the liberty of taking off his own diaper and wiping down the walls with it (sorry TMI). And when I’m not doing that, I’m feeding a helpless little baby who hasn’t quite figured out how to hold the bottle all by herself. All of this means you have been neglected once again. Please don’t give up on me little blog. One of these days I swear, I will have all of my time devoted to you and only you, but until then, just keep on breathing. Please know that you are always on my mind and hopefully soon I will have this 3 kids under the age of 4 thing down pat and I will be able to master the art of multi-tasking.
Love,
Steph :)
p.s here are some lovely and super delicious mini-chocolate bundt cakes with peanut butter frosting for you and only you, enjoy!
Mini Chocolate Bundt Cakes with Peanut Butter Frosting
6 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups all purpose flour
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cups vegetable oil
1 cup cold water
Sift together the cocoa, sugar, salt, baking soda and flour. Set aside. Using a mixer, mix the eggs, vanilla, oil and cold water until creamy. Slowly add the dry ingredients until well incorporated. Scoop evenly between 18 mini bundt cakes or 24 lined muffin cups and bake at 375 degrees for about 15-18 minutes. Top with peanut butter frosting.
Peanut Butter Frosting
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
1 cup creamy peanut butter
3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cream the butter and peanut butter together until smooth. Add the confectioner’s sugar and vanilla and slowly add the milk until the consistency is perfect for piping onto the bundt cakes. Place the frosting in a ziploc bag and cut off just a bit of the corner of the bag. Slowly pipe the frosting on the bundt cakes. I topped mine with reeses peanut butter pieces. Yummy!

It goes get better with 3 under 4. I have 3 like that, and another one on the way…you seem like you will never get ahead, but then you do!! Good luck!!
It does get better! My youngest is now 15 months. It gets better! But still….it’s so hard. We all get that, so you just take care of business. You blog will always be waiting right here for you with your faithful readers.
These mini cakes are so adorable!!! I’m impressed you were able to make these with 3 little ones! Not having children of my own yet, I can’t imagine how busy you are! Your readers understand and will be here when you are ready and able
Sorry your life is a little crazy right now. I know what it’s like! These little cakes look amazing. I have got to get me one of those pans!
Yummy! I’m making these babies tonight!
Family first!!!(well maybe whiping the poo off the wall comes first!lol)
The fact that you’re raising and nurturing 3 sweet children is even more inspiring to me than the beautiful treats and stellar blog that you have. And that’s saying a lot, because I’ve always been impressed with your high-quality baking and blogging!
Motherhood is a wild ride, isn’t it?
Now I need to get a mini-bundt cake pan! Those cakes are simply adorable!
What gorgeous cakes! And I’m sure they are as delicious as they look.
Don’t worry too much about posting. I’m fairly new to your blog so I can easily read all of your older posts and be happy as pie. Family should always come first and as a “MiMi” of six now (mom of 3), I can tell you that those stages go so quickly in life. Cherish them all and enjoy them all. You are doing the most important job in the world!
These are so cute! I am a huge peanut butter fan so I am sure I’ll love these!
WOW!! These look so good, can’t wait to try them out!
Dear Stephanie,
I love your blog. I was so happy to see a new post from you and can’t wait to try your new mini bundt cakes. I will be making the pretzel peanut butter bites for my oldest daughter’s halloween party on Friday. We love them! The only change will be to sprinkle some Halloween sprinkles on the chocolate…mmmm.
I know how hard it is to try to bake and keep in touch with those you love while taking care of the little ones. We had our third 3 months ago. Surprisingly they are all in bed right now! Good luck to you. You are an inspiration to me!
These are adorable and look delicious.
These mini cakes just made my day. I’m eating this so I can gain more weight.
hang in there Stephanie. I have a 4, 3, and 1 year old. I will always check in, don’t put so much pressure on yourself. I think we all understand….
I only have one child and it gets overwhelming at times! I don’t know how you do it!
I know it doesn’t mean much now, but hang in there and I promise things will get easier! At least you got the chance to bake a little and make these adorable little cakes.
Enjoy your little ones. It is such precious time in life. As a mother of three who are all in college I would love to go back in time for a bit. There will always be time for baking. In the meantime I will enjoy what is currently posted.
First time here. I found your blog on one of my friends’ cooking blog. Wow everything on here looks wonderful! I will have to keep checking back!
These little PB cakes are to adorable!
