Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your mini bundt cake pan by greasing and flouring it.
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the salted butter until it turns golden brown and releases a nutty fragrance. Let cool slightly.
- Sift together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Mixing Batter
- In another bowl, combine cooled brown butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar, stirring until well combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add in the sourdough discard, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients gently using a spatula until just combined.
Cinnamon Swirl and Baking
- In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and cinnamon for the swirl.
- Fill each bundt cavity halfway with batter, sprinkle a teaspoon of cinnamon mixture on top, then cover with more batter until three-quarters full.
- Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow bundts to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack.
Cream Cheese Filling
- Beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth and glossy.
- Once the bundts are completely cooled, fill the centers with the cream cheese mixture and dust with additional powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
For an extra nutty flavor, try toasting the flour before mixing it into the batter. These bundts can also be made with crushed nuts or chocolate chips for variations.
