Phew! I’ve finally settled back into “real life.” This week life returned to normal. After two weeks of travels and excitement between King Arthur Flour Blog & Bake™, a conference for work the day after my return and then a family vacation two days later. I returned home, unpacked and the next day hit the kitchen. I baked some goodies to participate in the Food Blogger Bake Sale for No Kid Hungry this past weekend with some other fabulous New Jersey bloggers, Amber of Bluebonnets & Brownies, Mary Kay of Homemade Cravings, Shelly of Cookies and Cups, Casey of Good. Food. Stories. and Urvashee of Dessarts. We had so many wonderful people come buy our tasty treats and support this cause. No Kid Hungry is a national charity that is ending childhood hunger in America by connecting kids in need with nutritious food and teaching families how to cook healthy, affordable meals. You can help surround kids with healthy food where they live, learn and play.
Nearly 1 in 5 children in America can’t count on having enough to eat.
That’s a pretty staggering statistic. By making a tax-deductible gift to our No Kid Hungry campaign you can:
- Connect vulnerable kids with up to 10 meals for every $1 donated
- Build public awareness about childhood hunger & find solutions
- Educate children & families about nutritious, affordable eating
Help end child hunger in America by making a tax-deductible gift. DONATE HERE! Thanks so much for your support for this important cause.
We had so many goodies to tempt people and reward their generosity. I made cookies and Oreo Krispie Treats. Others made cookies, cupcakes, doughnuts, blondies, and scones. Mary Kay made incredible little butter cakes! I had to buy one and it was ah-mazing. Really, who am I kidding? I did my fair share to support the bake sale and bought one (sometimes two!) of everything. But that cake got me thinking that these little bundtlets I made for BundtaMonth this week would have been the perfect cake to sell at a bake sale and perhaps they’ll make an appearance next year.
The theme for this month is berries and these mini bundts fit the bill. They’re moist, lemon cakes with plump raspberries scattered throughout the batter. Lemon and raspberries are fast friends in these lovely little cakes. They aren’t overly sweet making them ideal for an afternoon snack or even a sweet breakfast treat. A simple lemon glaze graces the top for just a little bit more bright lemon. These bundts are simple perfection but if you’d like even more berrilicious bundt ideas, see what everyone else baked up!

Lemon and raspberries are just MADE for each other! And in bundtlet form? Yes-yes-yes.
I couldn’t agree more Ashley! I just adore raspberry and lemon together.
Thanks for the butter cake shout out – glad you liked it! My kids DOWNED those Oreo Krispie treats that I brought home and have requested that I make a batch!
I love the idea of mini bundt cakes, maybe I should ask for a pan for mother’s day….
You’re very welcome. I loooved that cake! And this mini bundt pan is my new favorite! It’s adorable, with 4 different designs 🙂
I have a pan that makes those little bundt cakes…or I guess right now my storage facility has one…but I digress. I love them and I love even more the name you assigned to them. Bundlets. So precious and a perfect descriptor of these cakes. Could ya send one over please for me to have with my coffee?
I certainly can Barb!! 😉 I just adore this pan. I love the various shapes of bundts but this pan is my new favorite since I get 4 mini designs in one shot 🙂
So sad that there are hungry children in this country or anywhere for that matter. How great of you to help with raising funds to help feed them.
Beautiful little bundts too. Something about those mini ones are so fun and great single servings too.
Thanks Renee! I love little food 😉 And yes, No Kid Hungry is a wonderful charity. This is my second year participating in their annual food blogger bake sale. It’s a few hours out of my day and it makes a big difference! It’s also so neat to know that while we’re doing our bake sale in NJ, other food bloggers are holding bake sales all over the country at the very same time.
Beautiful little cakes and I love lemon and raspberry together.
Thank you Suzanne! It’s one of my favorite flavor combinations.
Whew, you have been busy. It’s nice to get away, but even better to get back home. These are the cutest little bundts!
Oh that’s so very true 🙂 It’s been a whirlwind lately and I’m glad that the dust has settled for a bit. Thanks so much for the compliment on my cakes too!
Lemon and raspberries is perfect for a bake sale or with a cup of tea with a friend. But it doesn’t look like you’ve had much time to sip beverages. Thank you for supporting the No Kid Hungry cause =)
Undoubtedly your cookies and Oreo Krispie treats were best-sellers.
P.s. Thank you for sharing the recipe for this Lemon Raspberry Bundt winner!
No, no time for sitting and sipping lately. It’s been a busy busy few weeks but now I’ll kick back and relax a bit 🙂
Perfect sized Bundts to go with my morning coffee 🙂 The lemon and raspberry pairings sounds wonderful and it’s great you are making them for a great cause!
Those are the prettiest bundts! I bet you sold out fast. Raspberries are one of my favs and with lemon a cake is always a little bit better!
Thanks you Paula!
What cute little bundts. I just bought the same pan. I cant wait to use it! Also I love the combination of raspberries and lemon.
Thank you Veronica! It’s the first time I’ve baked with it and I’m pretty sure it’s my new favorite. They’re just so cute!
Love the raspberries…and the little bundtlets. So cute. 🙂
Kate,
First off, I love that you called these bundtlets. How cute is that?! I am so using your word the next time I bake minis. How was the King Arthur Flour Blog & Bake?? I so wanted to go to that. . I bet it was amazing. .
Thanks for the great information on No Kid Hungry. Whenever I think of children who don’t have enough food it saddens me so much. .
I’ve never tried Lemon and raspberries together but definitely going to try these!
Oh lemons and raspberries are such a great combo! Do give it a try. Blog and Bake was amazing!! I’m hoping to have my post up this weekend so be on the look out. I’m still trying to whittle 800+ pictures down to a reasonable number for a post but there are SO many amazing moments to share. If you have the opportunity to go, do. It’s the experience of the lifetime. Truly.
I participated in a No Kid Hungry bake sale on Sat too! Ours sadly, was cold and rainy, but we did still raise some money. I made a few items, but choc dipped Rice Krispie pops and fruity pebble rice krispie pops were the most fun. I def need to try your oreo version! They sounds awesome!
I saw your pictures on Instagram!! Loved that you guys all wore aprons 🙂 It’s such a fun day and a great cause.
I love the word ‘bundtlet’! It’s cute even without seeing your photos! Love the flavour combination and the teeny bundt tins Kate. You’ve made a yummy dessert into something that’s even more special, and perfect to enjoy with a morning coffee 🙂 Love your blog. So many delicious treats… I’m enjoying the archive so far! Thanks!
Thank you for all your very kind words! I’m so happy you like what you see here and appreciate you letting me know too. 🙂 These little bundtlets were so very good. They’re so bright and cheerful!
These look fabulous. And they are adorable! Lemon and raspberry combined sounds heavenly!
Thanks so much Kristin!
What precious cakes! I love raspberries and lemon and would really enjoy these sweet Bundts.
Pretty little bundlets, Kate and a great combination of flavors! : )
Hello, I was just reading the recipe and wow does it sound amazing!!! I was just a little curious. In the ingredients it calls for 1 1/2c flour but in the directions it says 3c flour. Do you need to double the flour?
Hello Stephanie! I’m so happy you like this recipe and I’m SO sorry there was a typo!! Grrr… I can’t stand when I do that and don’t catch it. Thanks so much for giving me the heads up. The correct measurement is indeed 1 1/2 cups of flour, not 3 cups. I corrected it. Thanks again for asking such a great question and alerting me to my error. Enjoy!
My daughter would love these cakes. She is a complete raspberry fiend. Bookmarked!
I love your mini bundts cake, Is the tin a nordicware one? Lemon and raspberry sounds like a great combination.
It is indeed a Nordic Ware, 4-bundt pan. Love it! And thank you 🙂 I’m so happy you like these Laura!
The word bundlets is confusing. I have a 12 bundlet pan. Mini-bundts are the 4 bundt pans you have. Baking bundlets for 55 minutes would make bundlets so dry.
You are correct Mary. I will adjust the word “budlets.” Thanks for pointing that out.
Can I use a different pan? My bundt pan only holds 6 cups.
Thank You
You certainly can but you’ll need to adjust the baking time so just keep a close eye on the cakes.
I’m wondering if it’s possible to substitute sour cream for the yogurt? I forgot to get yogurt at the grocery store. Doh!
Oh I’m so very sorry I missed this comment! I hope you gave it a try. I think sour cream would work wonderfully here and I’d be so curious to hear how it turned out.
