Okay. I admit it. I’m on a “mini” kick. I think it’s because I thoroughly enjoy nibbling and grazing at parties. When I am savoring small, bite-sized treats, it doesn’t feel like I am ingesting a large meal (even though I may actually be consuming just as much food as a full meal).

Recently I discovered this fun little teeny, tiny, mini non-stick doughnut baking pan. Let me tell ya, I have all kinds of plans for this pan in the upcoming months!! To find one just like mine click here: 12-Cavity Mini Donut Pan

First of all, you’ll notice that the batter is rather dense. That’s because all of the photos in this post are of a gluten-free version of Mini Cake Bites. The batter is naturally denser than batter made with wheat flour.

Note: if you are not making this recipe GF the batter will rise higher so fill the pan wells only 3/4 of the way up.

After baking cool the Mini Cakes completely.

One of these little gems fits perfectly in my 1 1/2-year-old granddaughter’s hand. 

These little cakes are delicious all by themselves, however, adding a touch of raspberry icing takes them to a whole new level. Finally, for the final touch, I added a fresh raspberry in the center of each mini cake.
