Mini Chocolate Bundt Sponge Cakes

Written by Published on Updated on October 10, 2022 in Uncategorized

Hey there,

During the holidays’ everyone spends hours in the kitchen baking.  Vanilla Butter Cookies, Gingerbread cookies, cakes, and of course our very own Greek New Years’ cake.  So, I did continue to work on my baking skills, I baked a Greek Vasilopita, cookies, and these delicious Mini Chocolate Bundt Sponge Cakes. Don’t get me wrong I was truly happy with the end results.

But while I was in the kitchen for hours I came to this conclusion once again. I love to cook more than I love to bake.  With cooking, I don’t have to calculate and weigh every single ingredient.  Whereas with baking OMG every single ingredient needs to be precise!!  Cooking is definitely more relaxing a little of this a little of that and “oops too much salt well ok I’ll just throw in a peeled potato and it will soak up the excess salt” that’s me thinking out loud.  (I have been doing this a lot lately)  So, after working on my baking skills I decided that I will stick with cooking and do a lotttt less baking. 🙂

This was the last recipe of my personal baking challenge in 2020. I posted this recipe back in 2017, it was a chocolate sponge cake garnished with chocolate ganache.  This time I omitted the chocolate ganache and decided to change the look and sugar-coated the mini cakes.  I have only four cake molds, but this batter makes around six, so just keep that in mind if you decide that you would like to try out this recipe. 🙂

Have a great day everyone and I’ll be back soon with my first soup recipe for 2021!!

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
