How long should you bake bundtinis?

• A. 12 minutes
• B. 18 minutes
• C. 20 minutes
• D. 22 minutes

Answer: (B)

Bundtinis cook quickly because they’re small, so the goal is to have the center set while the outside stays tender and not overdone. About 18 minutes in a standard oven hits that sweet spot: long enough to bake through but not so long that the crumb dries out or the edges over-brown. If you go shorter, the centers can stay doughy; go longer, and the cake risks dryness and a tougher crust. Always test with a toothpick—insert it into the center and look for a few moist crumbs rather than wet batter. If your oven runs hot or cold, or you’re using a different pan, you may need to adjust by a minute or two.
