What is a Bundt Cake?

Bundt cakes are a type of cake that is baked in a Bundt pan, which is a round, fluted baking pan with a central tube or “chimney” in the middle.

The distinctive shape of the pan gives bundt cakes their characteristic ring or crown shape with decorative designs.

The term “Bundt” is actually a trademarked name for the specific type of cake pan developed by the Nordic Ware company in the 1950s.

The popularity of the pan led to the term “Bundt” being commonly used to refer to any cake baked in a similar style pan, regardless of the manufacturer.

Bundt cakes can be made with various types of batter, such as pound cake, sponge cake, or even chocolate cake.

The shape of the pan allows the cake to bake evenly and develop a crisp, golden crust on the outside, while the central tube helps the cake cook through the middle.
