Best Pumpkin Mini Bundt Cakes
I LOVE making these mini pumpkin bundt cakes every fall. They’re easy to pull together, smell amazing, and have the best fall flavors!
I use a boxed spice cake mix for the base, so the prep is super simple. Then I add a simple maple cake glaze, but a light dusting of powdered sugar is also delicious.
Either way, these cute bundt cakes are really easy to make and taste amazing!

How to Make Mini Pumpkin Bundt Cakes
Start by preheating your oven to 325°F and greasing the mini bundt cake pan really, really well. Make sure to get every nook and cranny so the cakes don’t stick.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the cake mix, eggs, water, oil, pumpkin purée, and pumpkin pie spice.
Carefully pour the batter into the prepared pan making sure to fill each mold about halfway full.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pan for about 10 minutes then gently turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cakes cool, make the glaze. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
Slowly add the powdered sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, and a little bit of milk. Adjust the milk as needed to get the desired consistency.
After the cakes cool, drizzle the glaze over each one and enjoy!
How full should I fill each mini bundt mold?
Fill each cake mold about halfway full. If you add too much batter, the bottoms of the cakes will be rounded and the cakes won’t sit level.
Can I use a different flavor of cake mix?
Absolutely! Spice cake mix works best with pumpkin, but yellow or butter cake mix also work in a pinch.
What if I don’t have a mini bundt cake pan?
You can make a full-sized bundt cake instead. Keep in mind that the baking time will change.
How to Store Leftovers
Once glazed, store leftover mini pumpkin bundt cakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
If you’re making them ahead of time or want to freeze a few, leave off the glaze and wrap them individually. They’ll stay good in the freezer for about 2 months.
Thaw in the fridge overnight before glazing and serving.
