How to Bake the Perfect Bundt Cake
from Nordic Ware
  • Use the Proper Baking Spray: Make the batter, then grease the pan. Do not use a cooking spray. Standard cooking sprays can cause the cake to stick, leaving a residue that may be difficult to remove. After spraying, take a pastry brush and brush the oil into the grooves of the pan and then turn the pan upside down on a paper towel, allowing the excess oil to drain away.
  • Avoid Bubbles in the Batter: To prevent air bubbles in the cake, slowly pour the batter in one corner & allow the batter to slowly flow in & around the design. Gently tap the filled cake pan on the counter a few times, this will make the air bubbles/pockets rise up & away from the outside of the cake.
  • Showcase the Details Using a Spatula: With a spatula, push the batter to the outside of the pan pushing slightly up the walls; this will help the cake climb up the sides, giving you greater detail on the outside of the cake.
  • Bake and Then Cool for 10 Minutes Before Inverting: Place the pan on the center rack of the oven. Black or dark colored pans require a 25-degree Fahrenheit heat reduction from the recommended oven temperature. Bake for time indicated and cool 10 minutes - no less, no longer. With hot pads, pick up the cake pan and gently shake the pan from side to side listening for thumping. This indicates cake is loose and ready to invert. A plastic knife may be used to carefully loosen the cake around the center tube and sides if sticking persists.
  • Invert, Continue Cooling and Dust or Drizzle: Invert on a plate or cooling rack; continue to cool. Dust with powdered sugar using a sifter or drizzle your favorite sauce or glaze on top, or decorate with fruit and enjoy.
  • Many New Bundt Pans are 10 Cup Capacity: Be sure to leave an inch at the top of the pan for the cake to rise, and if there is any leftover batter you can make a few muffins.
