The Bundt Cake Pan Guide

Bundt cakes are one of the most delicious desserts around. They are typically made from rich cake batter or can be made with shortening. The are typically baked in a bundt pan or other round baking pan with a tube in the middle, which makes their signature shape

The name “Bundt” comes from the German word “bundkuchen” which means “spiral cake” or “coiled cake.” The bundt pan was invented in 1950 by H. David Dalquist, who was looking for an alternative to the time-consuming and labor-intensive process of baking cakes in loaf pans. The Bundt pan was popularized by Nordic Ware, who trademarked the name “Bundt” for their product, which they claim has become an American cultural icon.

There are many different bundt cake pans on the market. Some feature clean lines and a clever design to make the cake come out of the pan in an easy manner and some have more ornate designs that allow for beautifully decorated cakes to be made with minimal effort. There are also special shaped pans like hearts or even a tree shaped pan that can be used for different occasions!

For a change from the usual, try serving your Bundt cakes with fruit to give it a fruity twist, but if you want to be really decadent top it with a glaze or icing.
