Description
These adorable mini cakes are brimming with sweet and smoky maple essence and crunchy toasted pecans. They’re deliciously soft and moist, and they’re a lot easier to make than they appear.
Ingredients
Scale
Cakelets
- 1 pkg Williams Sonoma Maple Pecan Quick Bread
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (250ml) milk, room temperature
- 2 large eggs
Toppings
- 2 oz semi-sweet baking chocolate, finely chopped
- gold sprinkles or finely chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- 3–4 tsp milk or cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Nonstick cooking spray should be used to grease the cakelet pan. Place aside.
- Combine the cake mix, melted butter, and milk in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the eggs one at a time until the batter is smooth.
- Fill the cavities of the prepared pan with the batter, leaving 1/2 cm space at the top. Tap the pan gently on a towel-covered counter to settle the batter and remove air bubbles.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cakes comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool for about 10 minutes in the pan before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Wipe out the pan, re-grease it, and repeat with the remaining batter.
