These Strawberry Mini Bundt Cakes with White Chocolate Ganache are simple but beautiful cakes bursting with strawberry flavor and covered in a creamy white chocolate ganache.
I love desserts that are made in the perfect size. No need to slice, divide, or separate... just serve and enjoy! These mini bundt cakes are perfectly portioned and so satisfying that you only need one.
Not only are they perfectly portioned, but they're also adorable. Bite-sized, mini-desserts are naturally kind of cute, but these Strawberry Mini Bundt Cakes are especially so when you garnish them with a pretty carnation and fresh strawberries.
Tips for Making Strawberry Mini Bundt Cakes with White Chocolate Ganache
Tip #1: Use the freshest strawberries available to you. We're really blessed here in San Diego with a long growing season, so I'm a bit spoiled when it comes to fresh produce. Strawberry season officially begins in February and lasts until October, and we always take full advantage of it. If you land on this recipe at a time when strawberries are at their peak ripeness in your area, take advantage of it! If not, get the freshest you can find.
Tip #2: The carnation garnish really gives these mini bundt cakes something special, so try to include them. Carnations are edible, and the petals are surprisingly sweet!
Tip #3: This recipe is a perfect special occasion dessert. This is a wonderful dessert to serve at a baby shower, bridal shower, or any other special occasion when you need desserts that really wow your guests.
I hope you enjoy these Strawberry Mini Bundt Cakes! They look amazing, taste amazing, and are a lot of fun to make.

How did you keep the cakes from browning as they bake? Your cakes have a lovely pink color. The only ones that didn’t brown when I tried the recipe were those that I microwaved.
