Mini Bournvita Bundt Cake

There is festivity in the air...with Diwali - the Indian festival of lights just around the corner. And with this festival are associated loads of sweets. And as you already know, both my hubby and I just need an excuse to indulge...well err... sometimes we indulge even without an excuse...but lets not get into that. 

Festivals mean joy and happiness and gifts :-) and of course loads of goodies... I thought I should start this month and welcome Diwali with these mini bournvita cakes.

They are simple to make and the main ingredient of these cakes is Bournvita, of which I am an addict. Of course, if you do not have Bournvita, you can use your own favourite brand of malt-chocolate drink. I have been drinking this good old powder mixed with my milk since childhood and its now a habit for life. I make sure that I stock up on Bournvita every time I visit India, enough to last me the whole year. 

These mini bundt cakes looked insanely cute and together with the bournvita cream icing they tasted just heavenly. If you love bournvita like me, then, I am sure you would love these cuties too :-)
