Light Spelt Mini Bundt Cakes

In the landscape of contemporary pastry, where elegance and well-being intertwine, these spelt mini bundt cakes are a masterpiece of mindful refinement. They bring to the table the prestige of ancient grains, reinterpreted with a modern and sophisticated touch.

The Balance of Ingredients

For eight elegant mini bundt cakes, we carefully select:

• 400g organic spelt flour, prized for its refined texture and robust character
• 250g raw cane sugar, chosen for its complex aromatic notes
• 3 fresh, organic eggs
• 100ml first-press extra virgin olive oil
• 120ml premium soy milk
• Baking powder

The Creative Process

The secret of these cakes lies in gentle movements and a patient hand. In a ceramic bowl, expertly beat the eggs with the raw cane sugar until you achieve a light, airy mixture. Gradually drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil like a ritual, followed by the smooth soy milk.

The spelt flour, the star of this creation, is incorporated with slow, meditative motions, along with the sifted baking powder. The resulting batter captures the elegance of carefully chosen ingredients.

Perfect Baking

Divide the batter into eight small bundt or muffin molds, lined with slightly dampened parchment paper to ensure even baking. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 30 minutes, or until the cakes achieve a perfect, even golden hue.

The Moment of Serving

These mini bundt cakes, with their refined simplicity, are perfect for an afternoon tea served in fine porcelain, perhaps accompanied by a Darjeeling first flush or a premium Japanese green tea. Their understated elegance also makes them ideal for a sophisticated brunch or a carefully curated coffee break.

Style Notes

Store these delicate cakes under a glass cloche or in a vintage-style tin box, preserving their aroma and freshness. A satin ribbon can add a touch of charm, transforming them into an exquisite gift.

Chef's Tip: For added sophistication, mix in the seeds of a Bourbon vanilla pod from Madagascar, introducing a delicate aromatic note that beautifully complements the complexity of the spelt.

This creation speaks of attention to detail and contemporary mindfulness, crafted for those who understand that true luxury lies in the quality of ingredients and the care of preparation.
