Because everything happens in one bowl, there is far less washing up than with traditional baking.

Serve them at a birthday party, afternoon tea or as a make-ahead dessert for weekend guests.
Preparation tips
- Use room-temperature butter, eggs and natural yoghurt for the lime and coconut batter: cold ingredients can curdle the mixture and give a denser crumb once the mini bundts are baked.
- Fill each mini bundt cavity only two-thirds full so the coconut batter rises evenly without overflowing the decorative ridges; a piping bag gives neater results than a spoon.
- For the brightest lime flavour, zest the fruit before juicing it and add the zest to the sugar, rubbing it in briefly so the oils release; finish the cooled bundts with a drizzle of lime icing and toasted desiccated coconut.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-free version: replace the natural yoghurt with a plant-based coconut yoghurt and use a dairy-free butter substitute; the desiccated coconut keeps the tropical character while the lime zest stays the dominant flavour.
- Festive variation: swap the lime for blood orange in winter and dust the mini bundts with a shimmer of icing sugar; add a few drops of rose water to the glaze for an elegant party dessert.
