Triple chocolate mini bundt cakes topped with chocolate covered strawberries. The perfect dessert for chocolate lovers. You need these for Valentine’s Day!!

Valentine’s Day is next week. And that means one thing for me.

Chocolate. And lots of it. This is the only holiday, where I believe every person needs to indulge and have a little chocolate. And chocolate covered strawberries. And more chocolate.

Beautiful CA Strawberries

Strawberries Dipped in Chocolate

I have no idea why my husband stopped buying the big heart shaped chocolate assortment boxes. Maybe it’s because I started baking on Valentine’s Day. And he knew there would always be something fabulous when he got home.

Triple chocolate mini bundt cakes topped with chocolate covered strawberries. The perfect dessert for chocolate lovers. You need these for Valentine's Day!!

Something fabulous with chocolate covered strawberries of course. The key to this recipe is using good quality chocolate. Premium baking chips and melted wafers.

Ghirardelli Bittersweet Baking Chips

12 oz Dark Candy Making Wafers

I’m talking about the Ghirardelli Baking Chips. The Bittersweet Chocolate Baking Chips and their melting wafers. While I’m baking, I pop these delicious baking chip morsels into my mouth. Oh so good. These are seriously the best tasting baking chips around.  You can quote me on this. Whenever I bake chocolate chip cookies, Ghirardelli is my go-to. In fact, you will always find at least 2-3 bags of both semi-sweet and bittersweet chocolate baking chips in my pantry at all times. .  because I never know when the craving will come.

So, when it came to baking these mini bundt cakes, I had to use my Ghirardelli Bittersweet chocolate baking chips. I actually added these into the cake batter so you get bittersweet chocolate with each bite. I loved it.

Chips in cake batter

So if you’re still looking for that perfect recipe for that special someone ..  give this recipe a try! And since I’ve already made these for my husband and family and friends. .  Honey, I want the big heart shaped chocolate assortment box. I hope you’re reading this.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Triple Chocolate Mini Bundt Cakes for a Ghirardelli Valentine's Day

This recipe will make about 6-7 mini bundt cakes, depending on how much batter you put into each well before baking. You will only need your stand mixer for the frosting.
Prep Time50 mins
Cook Time25 mins
Total Time1 hr 15 mins
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: Cake
Servings: 6
Author: Hip Foodie Mom

Ingredients

For the cake:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup brewed black coffee; slightly cooled if freshly brewed coffee
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Premium Baking Chips

For the frosting:

  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar sifted
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder sifted
  • 1 tablespoon whole milk + more if needed

For the chocolate covered strawberries:

  • 6-7 fresh strawberries; try to use relatively large ones if possible
  • Ghirardelli Candy Making & Dipping Wafers- Dark Melting Wafers
  • chocolate sprinkles optional, for added decoration

Instructions

For the cake:

  • Prepare your mini bundt pan by spraying with non-stick baking spray and preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Whisk together all of the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl until everything is well combined. Into the same bowl with the dry ingredients, add in the wet ingredients and mix to combine. Pour in the Ghirardelli Bittersweet Chocolate Baking Chips and mix to combine again. Fill each well in the mini bundt pan with the cake batter, filling only about 2/3 full. You do not want to pour in too much.
  • Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool. After at least 20 minutes, invert the baking pan and place mini bundt cakes either on wire rack or serving plate.

For the frosting:

  • Beat the confectioners’ sugar, butter, and cocoa powder together in your stand mixer on medium-slow speed until the mixture comes together. Turn the mixer down to a slower speed, and add in the milk (feel free to add in 1 to 2 more tablespoons if needed, but start with one tablespoon of milk).
  • Once the milk has been incorporated, turn the mixer up to high speed and continue beating until the frosting is light and fluffy (for about 4-5 minutes). The longer the frosting is beaten, the lighter and fluffier it becomes. Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before applying to the mini bundt cakes.

For the chocolate covered strawberries:

  • Prepare a baking sheet covered with either parchment paper, wax paper or a non-stick baking mat. Wash and pat dry each individual strawberry. Microwave Ghirardelli’s Candy Making & Dipping Wafers according to package instructions. Mix and dip each strawberry and place on the prepared baking sheet. Place strawberries in the refrigerator for at least 20-30 minutes to help the chocolate set and firm up.

To assemble:

  • Frost the top of each mini bundt cake, either with a piping bag and tip or simply with a frosting knife. Sprinkle chocolate sprinkles on top of the frosting and place one chocolate covered strawberry on top! Enjoy!

    So THIS is what you were up to the other day! SO worth the wait – they look absolutely divine!

    And I’m wondering why you couldn’t have moved to Madison before I moved? I would’ve gladly taken a few of these off your hands. 😉

    Alice. Oh my God woman, what are you doing to me? I’ve smacked my face numerous times already by attempting to eat these masterpieces through my computer screen. They are gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous. I’ve never been able to cover things in chocolate that beautifully. All I can say is you’re constantly outdoing yourself with beautiful, decadent desserts and the photography and styling are perfection.

      Hi Tan! Did you spray the bundt pan with non-stick baking spray? This is essential. . Here are my tips: allow the bundt cakes to cool for about 20 minutes, then, if you need to, loosen the edges of each mini bundt with a butter knife or fork, just to gently loosen the outer edges of each bundt cake, then place the serving plate or wire rack, whatever you are using on top of the bundt pan and then literally flip the pan upside down and gently shake the pan if you need to. The mini bundts should then release on their own and fall onto the plate or wire rack. Hope this helps!!

    these do look divine. I don’t have a mini bundt cake pan, will muffin/cupcake pan work? Would it still make 6?

      Hi Susan, yes you can use a muffin pan as well. The recipe will definitely make at least 6, probably more. Let me know how the recipe works for you!!

    I made these last night. Did you forget the eggs or something? Mine came out completely flat, not raising at all. I had to throw the whole thing out, which with the high quality ingredients, was a lot of money. I ended up just making chocolate covered strawberries instead for my gathering.

      Hi Susan, for whatever reason I never even saw this comment until today because someone else left a comment last night. I am so very sorry! I adapted my recipe from this vegan recipe so yes, there are NO eggs in this recipe: http://notwithoutsalt.com/chocolate-cake-with-bittersweet-sour-cream-frosting/ I am so very sorry to hear that the recipe didn’t work for you and feel terrible that you had to throw everything out. There are a number of things that could have done wrong. I know this was almost a year ago but were all your ingredients fresh? even the baking soda? sometimes I’ve had readers notice that their baking soda was expired. Anyway, so very sorry. . I am going to test the recipe again this weekend! or maybe even today!

      Hi Sue, that is correct! There is no egg! I adapted my recipe from this recipe: http://notwithoutsalt.com/chocolate-cake-with-bittersweet-sour-cream-frosting/ The size of my minis: my mini pan holds 6 mini bundt cakes . . I’m not sure why the recipe didn’t work for the other commenter. . in fact, for whatever reason, I didn’t even see that comment until now. This recipe does work and I hope you will try it! . . in fact, I might make these again today myself! Happy New Year!
