I have a real obsession with pomegranate curd. I spread it on my toast with a nice schmear of butter and top it on my muffins and even put it in my clafoutis from time to time. I added more pomegranate juice to my curd to intensify the flavor for these sandwiches and it is marvelous! What I love about these little cake bites is that it is a little reminder of summer, but with a wonderful fruity winter touch.
Can we just agree that pomegranate curd and cake always need to be together?
Cake bites are also probably the best/worst thing ever. They are 1 inch little squares of cake (some of these came out a little rectangular because I am not a patient cake cutter) that you can pretty much pop into your mouth over and over again and before you know it, you’ve eaten half the cake.
Not saying I’ve done that or anything. Nope, not gonna admit to anything at all……
But if you do end up eating half the cake, let’s just say that I don’t judge you in the least.
If you don’t want to make pomegranate curd, or want to make this recipe when pomegranates aren’t in-season, you an easily substitute it with lemon curd, jams, or fresh fruit. There really isn’t any going wrong with this recipe.

Cake bites? Like cake in handheld form? This is brilliant, Amanda. Like, I need these in my life. Plus, pomegranate curd? Sounds increeeedible. Pinned, duh!
Amanda says
I like to think of them as “cake pills” you can just pop them in your mouth and go! <3

I am not very adventurous when it comes to pomegranates! I find them a little intimidating. These cakes look totally incredible!
