My Go-To Bundt Pan
Having a good bundt pan is the secret to great bundt cakes! You want one that is reliable, cooks evenly, and is made well so the cake doesn’t stick when you try and remove it.
The Nordic Ware’s sturdy cast aluminum Bundt pan provides superior baking performance. The full-size 12-cup Bundt pan is made from cast aluminum that heats evenly for perfect cake texture and color. It easily releases the cake and makes for easy clean-up too!
I grabbed mine locally at Orson Gygi but I am sure you can order it online too.
