Christmas Morning Coffee Cake is a family favorite of ours.  We have had it every Christmas for as long as I can remember.  Last year we did a post on the coffee cake, but this year we decided to shake it up a little. We found a mini Bundt pan and made Christmas Mini Bundt Cakes.  We weren’t sure if they would turn out as good as the original, but they sure did.  Not only will they look great on our Christmas dessert table, but they are perfect for giving out to our friends and family as a small Christmas gift. 

How to Make the Cake Batter

Step 1:  Start by making the cake batter.  We have included the ingredients in the recipe card below but you can find all the step-by-step directions on our post for Christmas Morning Coffee Cake.

How to Make the Cinnamon Sugar Filling

Step 2: In a separate bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, chopped nuts, and cinnamon.  We used pecans here but sometimes we use walnuts. Both taste equally good.

Baking Instructions

Step 3: We baked our Mini Sherry Cakes in a Mini Bundt pan.  You want to grease the pan with shortening prior to filling it with cake batter.
Step 4: Partially fill the bundt pans – we filled them about half the way up.
Step 5: Sprinkle in some sugar and nut filling and then cover the filling with more cake batter.
Step 6: We baked our Mini Sherry Cakes for 20 minutes in a 350-degree oven.  Allow the cakes to cool completely.

How to Make the Icing

Step 7: Make up a batch of icing to drizzle on the cakes.  In a bowl mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla.  Mix until the right consistency.

Step 9: To add a bit of Holiday pizzazz, we added a Holly Berry made out of Red M&M’s and a green Jelly Slice candy that we cut in half to form the holly leaves.
