Bundt or basic? It may seem like a stupid question, but we’re not all Martha Stewarts in the kitchen. In fact, most people probably don’t own a Bundt pan or even know what it looks like. We’re here to break it down for you.
A Bundt cake is any type of cake cooked in a Bundt pan:
You may be eye rolling or saying “duh,” but there are quite a few differences between a Bundt and regular cake pan. To start, Bundt pans can come in all different shapes, sizes, and designs (though round with grooved edges is certainly the most popular).
Since their middles are hollow, more of the batter will touch the sides and result in a desirably crusty edge that not only tastes delicious, but can easily support the weight and consistency of frosting. This makes it a perfect base for complicated, decoration-heavy recipes.
Because of a Bundt pan’s unique shape, recipes must be extremely moist, as plenty of the cake’s surface will be exposed to higher temperatures than normal. Bundt pans also require every nook and cranny to be well-greased and floured to make the transferring process easier and to prevent uneven cooking distributions.
We’ve rounded up seven of our most popular Bundt cake recipes so that you can enjoy the wonders of the unique pan within the comforts of your own kitchen. The true test is whether or not you can limit yourself to just one slice.
