Man I am on a blogging roll with three recipes in a row. I’ve been burning the midnight oil to get these recipes up for you so that you can get in the kitchen an make them yourself. Today I’ve got Mini Iced Vovo Bundt Cakes that are delicious little morsels perfect celebrate Australia Day on the weekend. They are soft little vanilla cakes drizzled with a pink lemon icing and filled with a raspberry chia jam. This would be my other variation on a lamington if you couldn’t be bothered making those. If you are not familiar with what an Iced Vovo is then you probably don’t live in Australia then. An Iced Vovo is a biscuit here in Australia that is covered in a pink marshmallow topping with a strip of raspberry jam through the middle of it all topped in coconut. We love to make variations of it from tarts, to desserts to cakes. And this is my contribution to the Iced Vovo recipes floating around the internet.

I will mention also that this recipe is gluten & dairy free so those with allergy issues can know these little morsels won’t upset your tummy. I should know I delved into one right after the shoot and boy was it good. Hubby ate one in the afternoon once he came home from work and he gave it two thumbs up. Which I was pleasantly surprised to see. I only say that because anytime I tell him whatever I have made is gluten free he screws his nose up at it and won’t eat it. I just so happen to “forget” to mention that this was in fact gluten free. See sometimes what you don’t know doesn’t hurt you, it in fact is delicious. Ha.

Don’t worry if you don’t have a mini bundt tin or silicone tray to make these in. You could simply make them as cupcakes and turn them into butterfly cakes but cutting out a hold in the top and drizzling the pink icing over the top and filling it up with the raspberry chia jam. They still would be delish either way. If you have no idea what a butterfly cake is then check them out over here.

I’ll be pulling these beautiful little Mini Iced Vovo Bundt Cakes out on Saturday when we celebrate Australia day. I will be enjoying one in the morning sunshine (before I scorch myself with sunburn) with a cuppa in one hand and one of these cute cakes in the other.
