- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Mini Dulce de Leche Bundt Cakes
Step 1 – Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini bundt pan with butter or baking spray to ensure easy release.
Step 2 – Cream the Butter and Sugar
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 3 – Add the Dulce de Leche
Blend in 1/2 cup of Colombina Dulce de Leche until smooth. This step adds that rich, caramel flavor perfect for the holidays.
Step 4 – Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5 – Alternate Dry Ingredients and Buttermilk
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing gently to avoid overmixing.
Step 6 – Bake the Mini Bundt Cakes
Spoon the batter into the mini bundt pans, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 7 – Cool and Decorate
Let the cakes cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack. Once cooled, drizzle with extra Colombina Dulce de Leche and dust with powdered sugar for a festive touch.
