Sugar Plum White Chocolate Cake Bites

By 159 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Happy Monday!  Well back to it now that Thanksgiving is over.  Now its holiday time!  I love this time of year with Christmas decorations, holiday foods and treats, fresh Christmas trees, Christmas parties, shopping and giveaways!  Yupper Doodles I have a giveaway today!  But first let me show you my Sugar Plum Chocolate Cake Bites.

How cute are these little Guys?  There a perfect combination of white chocolate cake, with swirled in Sugar Plum Jam from Stonewall Kitchen.  My intentions for these cakes didn’t come out as planned.  As I was melting the white chocolate and butter on the stove top, I went to grab my brownie pan, and guess what?  No pan to be found.  I panicked because as I was digging, I was also melting chocolate and butter on the stove and I didn’t want it to burn.  So what was I to do?    I already started my dessert and there was no stopping now.  So when all else fails I grabbed my bread pan.  It worked out like a charm.  Instead of white chocolate brownies I ended up with white chocolate cake, even better!  Check out how cool it looks from the pan.


These cake bites turned out light, fluffy and each piece is coated with a the sweet Sugar Plum Jam.  I couldn’t be more happy with this recipe!  Funny when things turn out better than planned.

These cakes are super easy to make.  I melted butter and white baking chocolate in a pan.   Added sugar, eggs, vanilla and flour and mixed it all together.  Poured it into my prepared pan and then swirled in the most tasty jam into it!  The jam really makes this cake!!  Baked it for 30 minutes and fa la, it’s done!

These cakes would be perfect served at your next holiday party or simply to pack in your lunch.  You can cut them into bites like I did or you can cut them into 16 slices and make like a brownie.  No matter how you do it, they will be perfect.  Oh for an added touch I dusted on a little bit of powdered sugar to give it a dainty look.  But these cakes are not dainty they are pretty sturdy, yet very light to eat!  I love that!  I don’t like when you make things and there so delicate they fall apart!!

I was pretty happy when I received my little gift package from Stonewall Kitchen.  I have been a fan of their products for years.  I love there jams, I always keep a stock of it in my cupboards and they have like a bazillion flavors to choose from.  You know how I like my condiments, as you can tell from last weeks post on my Jamming Away Day.  In my package I received one jar of Sugar Plum Jam and their Holiday Jam.  The Sugar Plum Jam is made of plums and has just a touch of orange, oh boy is it good!  The Holiday Jam is amazing with cream cheese and crackers.  It’s made with pears, cranberries and raspberries.  All my favorites!!  These are truly a wonderful seasonal jam that will add a little charm to you holidays, whether you make my little cake bites like mine, spread on cream cheese and crackers or make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich!  The possibilities are endless when it comes to jam!

    The Holiday Jam sounds so good! I would make “Snooks” cookies (pb&j cookies) …egg-free for my daughter…with the jam. Would be a great variation from traditional strawberry.

  7. Joanne says

    I am SOO excited for holiday cookie/brownie/cake baking! And these cute little cake bites sound like the perfect place to start. The plum/white chocolate combo sounds dreamy. I might use the jam to flavor a buttercream!!

  28. Angela says

    I always make peanut butter and jelly bar cookies at Christmas. I would use the jam to make those.

  42. Karen DelGrosso says

    I would give the jams to my husband for Christmas along with the case of Stonewall Kitchens Blueberry Jam that he adores.

  47. MaryB says

    I would make my jam bars that I usually make with raspberry jam and these cake bites look delicious, too!

  52. Becky @ Olives n Wine says

    Oh yum! Your white chocolate cake bites look delicious! If I were to win, I would definately make ebelskivers – filled (with Jam or Nutella or whatever!) Danish pancakes the shape of spheres.

  67. FireRunner2379 says

    I might get “voted off the island” for this but I would make toast! I love it. A nice wheaty, nutty bread toasted to perfection with a slight drizzle of honey and flavorful jam. The heel is an added bonus.

  78. alyce poalillo says

    I would probably make the classic thumbprint cookies or add it as a swirl in my pound cake

  89. Janel says

    I make jam jam cookies for the holidays and that jam looks like it would be something different to try and likely not available in Canada.

  90. Bridget says

    I would make white chocolate truffles with a sugar plum jam filling. Yummy! I follow you on pinterest, and facebook. And I pinned this recipe. And I follow stonewall on facebook.

  92. Baking Serendipity says

    Quick thinking on the cake! I always panic in moments like those. I haven’t made thumbprint Christmas cookies for so long, but would love to use the Stonewall jams in a batch!

  94. jacquie says

    i was thinking of thumbprint cookies would be the way to go but i saw someone else had spoken of biscuits and now i’m thinking of that….

  97. SharonF says

    A sugar cookie base, covered with jam or marmalade and then drizzled with white, mil or dard chocolate.

  106. Georgiana says

    This would be delicious on my whole grain bread and also stirred in my Greek yogurt cups too! Yum!

  110. Sonja Phillips says

    I follow all on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest! If I won, I wouldn’t get a chance to make anything…my 21 year old son is coming for Christmas and he would just want it on toast!! 🙂
