Ever since I was a little girl, I've absolutely loved baking. Being in the kitchen, experimenting with flavors and ingredients ... there's just something that's special about exploring your culinary side. I don't remember the first time I baked a cake with a Bundt cake pan, but not long after I did, I began using it pretty regularly. Traditionally made with decorative sides and a top, the pan that shapes the cake is typically round. It is used most often for more dense, moist cakes such as pound or coffee cakes; however, with the influx of different styles and materials used for Bundt cake pans, lighter cakes have also started to sneak in the mix, too. Whether you're just starting to explore Bundt cakes or wanting to upgrade your current Bundt pan, the ones we've chosen below are all excellent options.

You’ve found the ideal recipe, you’ve baked it to perfection. Now what? I’ll tell you what: now comes the fun part. Decorating a Bundt cake is as easy or as detailed as you’d like it to be. Due to the top and sides of the cake pan form, Bundt cakes come out looking fancy all on their own. Requiring little more than powdered sugar to finish the look, decorating a Bundt cake is entirely optional and entirely up to you. Should you want to go down that road, however, the options are limitless. Decorate your cake in full frosting, or have it dripping decadently down the sides. Finish the top with a glaze and a dusting of sugar, or leave it without any frosting at all and just add some edible flowers and tall, elegant candles. Decorating a Bundt cake doesn’t take all that much for absolutely stunning results. Just let your imagination go with this one, and have fun. You can’t really go wrong. What’s the best way to grease a Bundt cake pan? You probably already could guess this, but you’re going to want to thoroughly grease your Bundt cake pan. Because of the nooks and crannies that are typical of a Bundt cake pan, and because of the traditional recipes used for Bundt cakes, you’re going to want to make sure every little bit of the surface of a pan is greased and greased well. Hot tip: after you apply the fat of your choice, add some flour sifted over the fat to create a barrier between the cake batter and the fat. The results? A cake that’ll release from the pan practically effortlessly.
