Chocolate and raspberries are a match made in heaven. These mini bundt cakes, or muffins, are the best Valentine's day dessert for your romantic dinner. Especially if covered in smooth melted chocolate ganache. They are super easy to make and incredibly delicious!
If in doubt, always choose chocolate. That's my motto! I don't have much of a sweet tooth but chocolate is my weakness. I don't particularly love to bake, so whenever I crave something sweet, I always go for easy recipes like brownies, cookies, or muffins. I make more elaborate cakes and pies only for special occasions like birthdays because it's so much work for me!
These mini chocolate bundt cakes are as quick and easy to make as simple chocolate muffins. So you can easily make them in less than 30 minutes.
How to make mini Bundt Cakes
They're very easy to make and that's why I love them! This recipe is an adaptation of Sally's Triple Chocolate Muffins and they're just as cute!
You only need two bowls and a spoon or spatula to make them, no need for a stand mixer or whisks. You first start by melting the chocolate with the butter in the microwave, then mix it with room temperature eggs, vanilla, sugar, and yogurt.
In another bowl mix the sifted flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, then combine with the wet ingredients and add the chopped raspberries.
Spoon the batter in the silicone molds and bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool on a rack for 5 minutes before removing them from the molds.

Yes, these mini bundt cakes are delicious as they are. The chocolate topping is just an extra yummy addition. If you don't want to make the ganache, you can also melt a few dark chocolate cubes in the microwave with 1-2 teaspoons of coconut oil until you get a silky smooth sauce. So good!
