I am not a fan of chocolate cake, but this right here is absolutely divine! If you are a milk chocolate lover, this is 100% for you! Peep these Mini Easter Bundts! I made these in the Pampered Chef Mini Bundt Pan, let them cool, and frosted them halfway. I used mini chocolate chips to sprinkle on before adding the Peep bunny. You can definitely make this in any cake pan.
This cake recipe is also found in The Copper Whisk Cookbook, and I make it all the time. It keeps well for a few days (if leftovers last that long)! These little cakes are perfect for any Easter get together. Little hands will be reaching for them until they are gone.
