what is a "bundtpan"
An angel-food cake pan with a fancy bottom, so that it looks
pretty when unmolded. Also called "tube" pan: a round pan
with a tube in the middle. Plain angel-food pans are shaped
like a truncated cone, with another cone in the middle.
(The cones point opposite ways so the cake can come out.)
The hole in a bundt, if I recall correctly, is much wider
than the hole in an angel-food cake.
I haven't used the bundt option on my springform pan in
decades -- come to think of it, I haven't used the *pan* in
decades; I'm not 100% certain that I've still got it. I
bake all my cakes in miniature loaf pans these days.
There are four cooling on a rack now, waiting to be
gift-wrapped. I've found a sure-fire way to get a cake out
of a loaf pan in one piece: put half an inch of chopped
nuts in the bottom of the pan.
A layer of sliced almonds also loosens a cake, and the white
middles and brown edges make a pretty pattern on the bottom
of the cake, but the slices don't all stick to the cake, so
you have to scrape them out of the pan and eat them.
