Is there anything more beautiful than a Bundt cake? With as many possibilities as there are pan designs, it’s an easy way to make a fancy, festive-looking cake with little effort. From the standard ring to a decorative jubilee imprint, from rose to heart shapes, and from mini cakelets to squares, the Bundt iterations are endless. They are so attractive they hardly need any embellishment, but some powdered sugar or a tasty glaze can make for a particularly show stopping finishing touch.
Invented in 1950 and popularized in the decades to follow, the Bundt pan never totally went out of style but has seen a recent resurgence, and we just can’t get enough. Modern bakers are using intricate designs and inspired flavors that make us want to throw on an apron and hop in the kitchen, stat.
