Red Velvet Cheesecake Tea Cakes are utterly delightful. This festive, elegant and beautiful dessert is perfect to bake around Christmas time for holiday parties or even Valentine's Day. The Tea Cakes are easier to make since they start with a cake mix and include chocolate chips and a cheesecake pudding mix. They're glazed with a canned cream cheese icing and sprinkled with red sprinkles for the finishing touch. Wonderful holiday dessert.
Mix cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, eggs, half-and-half and oil in a large mixing bowl with a wooden spoon.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Spoon into miniature well-greased and floured miniature Bundt pans about three-fourths full.
Bake at 350° for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Cool completely before adding icing.
Microwave canned frosting (removing foil and lid) about 15-20 seconds until it softens.
Drizzle frosting over top of individual Tea cakes.
Sprinkle the icing immediately with sprinkles.
Notes
NOTE: Rotate Bundt pans on racks half-way through baking time if baking more than one 20-tin Bundt pan rack at a time.NOTE: The Bundt pans need to be very generously greased and floured before using.NOTE: Be careful not to overfill the tins since the batter expands while baking. Otherwise it will make it harder to remove the cakes from the pan.NOTE: I purchased the miniature 20-tin Bundt pans at Jo-Ann's Fabric and Crafts.
