I found this little mini bundt cake pan at Walmart on the clearance rack. I've always wanted to make little mini cakes, so I thought I'd give it a try.
To make the cakes with a coffee flavor, I simply followed the ingredients on the back of a cake mix box except replacing the amount of water with strong brewed coffee. And of course, the stronger the coffee, the stronger the flavor in the cake.
The caramel icing is a recipe I found online. I've never had this type icing before and it was very good. It is a dense icing, but it instantly melts in your mouth when you eat it.
Easy Caramel Icing (makes enough for 24 mini cakes)
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup milk
About 2 cups of sifted powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Melt butter in saucepan, stir in brown sugar. Cook and stir over low heat 2 minutes. Add milk, continue stirring until boiling. Remove from heat. Cool to lukewarm. Put into small mixer bowl, add sugar and vanilla while beating on medium speed, then beat on low speed for one minute.

These are so cute and sound yummy! Wish I could make them, but since my husband hates coffee, I'd be forced to eat every one of them myself! That clearance-priced, mini bundt pan would make a great Christmas gift for your mother-in-law!
