WHAT IS A BUNDT CAKE?
A Bundt cake is a cake that is baked in a Bundt pan, shaping it into a distinctive doughnut shape.
Bundt cakes are not generally associated with any single recipe, instead, their characterizing feature is their shape.
So, the main difference between Bundt cake and the regular cake has less to do with the ingredients than with the pan itself.
“Bundt” is a word invented and trademarked by Dave Dalquist, the pan’s designer. The name was derived from the German word bundkuchen, meaning “a cake for a gathering.” Dalquist added the ‘T’ so he could trademark the name.
WHY ARE BUNDT CAKES SO MOIST?
What is so special about a bundt cake? … 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.
If you want to keep your bundt cake moist, cover it with plastic wrap or keep it at room temperature inside a cake dome to keep it from drying out.
