Snowflake Chocolate Bundtlettes

Snowflake Chocolate Bundtlettes are just a little more special than a cupcake and small enough that each person can enjoy one all to themselves.
Not long ago, I just fell in love with this little Bundtlette pan. I knew that these little individual cakes would be perfect for our get together. Something just a bit more special than a cupcake, and small enough that each person could enjoy a serving to themselves.[Tweet “Snowflake Chocolate Bundtlettes are perfect for holiday parties! #holiday #cake”]
I recently tried a chocolate cake that is dotted with mini chocolate chips that was delicious so wanted to try the recipe in my bundtlette pan. These little cakes were going to get a dark bittersweet chocolate glaze that would cling to the sides of each little cake. The coup de grace would be a festive snowflake. Just like all snowflakes, no two are alike. Chocolate with a side of chocolate.

Snowflake Chocolate Bundtlettes
Ingredients
- Snowflakes
- Vanilla candy melts
- Sanding sugar or decoration of your choice.
Cake
- 1 pkg chocolate cake mix - devils food German chocolate or whatever you prefer
- 1 pkg
instant chocolate pudding
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 large eggs room temperature
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup oil
- 1-1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Dark Chocolate Ganache
- 16 ounces bittersweet chocolate finely chopped
- 2 cups heavy cream
Instructions
Snowflakes
- Place a piece of wax paper over snowflake template. Melt vanilla candy melts in a piping bag placed in a microwave proof cup. Microwave for 30 second intervals at half power. Squish bag to blend between cooking intervals. Repeat until completely melted. Snip a small opening at the end of the bag. Pipe candy melts following the snowflake pattern. Sprinkle with sanding sugar or decoration of your choice.
Cakes
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and spray bundtlette pan with cooking spray.
- Mix all of the ingredients together, except for the chocolate chips, until blended. Add chocolate chips, and mix until combined. Fill each cavity 3/4 full. Don't overfill.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes turning half way through baking for bundtlettes.
- Let cool in pan for 10 minutes and then remove cake from the pan. Allow the pan to cool between batches. If using a full sized bundt pan, bake for 45-50 minutes.
Ganache
- In a one quart container, heat cream to just a simmer in the microwave (3 to 4 minutes on high). Be careful not to allow it to boil over.
- Put chocolate in a food processor and pour in cream. Allow to sit for 2 minutes and then pulse several times until smooth. Spoon Ganache over cake.
Assembly
- Trim the bottom of each cake if it will not sit flat. Spoon glaze over each cake. Top with snowflake.
