Bundt Pan Buyer’s Guide
A Bundt pan is the ideal choice for baking intricately shaped cakes for parties or coffee mornings. The pan’s circular shape makes for a more interesting bake, but everyone will be looking for something slightly different in their Bundt pan.
Whether you want a small Bundt pan for occasional use, or a large heavy-duty pan that will cater for large gatherings, this buyer’s guide will help you find the right Bundt pan for you!
Design
From simple circular Bundt pans, to fluted or swirling creations, a Bundt pan can be as ornate as you want it to be. If you dream of cakes with more intricate patterns, you might need to be prepared to spend a little more money.
The design will also affect how easy it is to remove the cake from the pan and wash up afterwards. A non-stick coating will make it easier to turn the cake out and will also ensure that the beautiful pattern of the cake remains intact.
Dimensions
Smaller Bundt tins are ideal when you’re catering for a few friends or making a cake to go with your morning coffee. Smaller pans of around 22cm diameter will require fewer ingredients, and the cake will cook more quickly.
Large Bundt tins can measure over 31cm in diameter. They require large quantities of cake batter and will take longer to cook in the oven. However, they are ideal for parties or when you’re catering for a large number of guests.
Material
High end Bundt tins tend to be made of aluminium, whereas budget-friendly versions are made of stainless or carbon steel.
Although both materials will do the job, aluminium is a superior heat conductor, for faster and more efficient baking. Aluminium might also distribute heat throughout the batter more evenly.
Bundt Pan FAQ
What is a Bundt pan and how to use it?
A Bundt pan is a ring-shaped cake tin with a hole in the middle. The shape of the tin is designed to ensure the cake bakes evenly throughout. The tin may feature intricate swirling or fluted patterns to give your cake the extra wow-factor.
Bundt pans are used in a similar way to normal circular cake tins. First, make your cake batter. Pour the batter into the Bundt pan to half-fill it, allowing space for the cake to rise. Transfer to the oven, then remove when cooked. Wait a few minutes before turning your Bundt cake out onto a cooling rack.
