Mostcake recipes and mixes will work great in our Bundt pans, but cakes that are heavy and/or dense will show more detail than light, fluffy cakes. For instance, pound cakes, Bundt® Cakes and “doctored-up” cake mixes will show nice detail. We recommend using a mixer with a paddle attachment for Bundt® cake or pound cake recipes as it helps eliminate air getting incorporated into the batter.

Bundt® pans are not just for cake! Make savory recipes such as bread, pasta bakes, breakfast egg bakes and much more. You can even roast a chicken in a Bundt Pan! Get more recipe inspiration here.

After taking out of the oven, let the cake cool in pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a cooling rack. For Bundtlette and cakelet pans, cooling for 5-8 minutes in the pan should be enough. If necessary, loosen the sides of the cake and gently shake to loosen before carefully inverting onto a cooling rack.

We recommend hand washing for all of Nordic Ware baking pans. They may be soaked in hot soapy water, and washed with a textured scrubber, sponge or cloth that is safe for non-stick coatings. You may also use a plastic bristled brush. Avoid extended soaking. In stubborn cases, you may use a special cleaner that can get rid of sticky residue such as DAWN Power Wash. Watch full Bundt® cleaning video here. Avoid automatic dishwashers as the detergent is very caustic and can damage the pan’s nonstick coating.

Follow our cleaning suggestions every time you use your Bundt® Pans to ensure residue does not build up and keep your pans shiny. For storage, we recommend using a light fabric layer between pans if stacking. Or use our Bundt Storage Bags to keep pans clean and scratch-free.
