| 3637.1 | Measure the volumes using cups of water first | CADSYS::HECTOR::RICHARDSON | | Mon Sep 21 1992 12:12 | 7 |
| See how many cups of water it takes to fill up the bundt pan and how
many it takes to fill up the little loaf pans, and then you'll know how
many little loaf pans will hold the recipe. I would bake them at the
same temperature but expect them to take less time - and test them when
they start looking like the middle is cooked.

| 3637.2 | A suggestion... | VISUAL::FLMNGO::WHITCOMB | | Mon Sep 21 1992 12:25 | 8 |
| Kathy:
Did you know that there are mini-bundt pans too? I saw them in the Maid of
Scandinavia catalog and was considering picking them up to make little cakes
for Christmas gifts. They're really adorable and the cakes look much fancier
than the ones made in loaf pans which I've used for the last few Christmases.
Have fun!

| Guys,
What's a bundt pan? No such animal here in Oz!

| 3637.4 | fancy-shaped molded cake pan with central hole | CADSYS::HECTOR::RICHARDSON | | Fri Sep 25 1992 12:21 | 13 |
| It is sort of like an angel-food cake pan, in that there is a central
hole in the cake. However, the bottom of the pan is not removeable,
and the sides of it are sort of sculptured, making a pretty shaped
cake. They are usually made with a non-stick coating inside - it would
be hard to use one otherwise since the nooks and crannies of the design
would give your cake plenty of places to stick. I think "Bundt" is
just the name of a line of cake mixes that you are supposed to bake in
the "Bundt" pan, but maybe there was a tradtional recipe called that
originally. I don't think I've ever made a "Bundt" cake, but then
again I don't bake cakes from mixes anyhow. I use the pan for carrot
cake.

| 3637.5 | History of the Bundt Pan | ASDG::HARRIS | Brian Harris | Mon Sep 28 1992 22:05 | 11 |
|
The Bundt pan was created in 1950, when David Dalquist, owner of Nordic
Ware and Northland Aluminum Products, was asked by the Minneapolis
chapter of the Hadassah Society to make an aluminum version of a
European cast-iron kugelhopf pan. He made a few extras to sell in
department stores, but sales didn't really take off until the 1960's
when cakes baked in bundt pans began to be featured in magazines. By
1972 11 of the 100 top winners of the Pillsbury bake-off called for a
bundt pan. That year Pillsbury launched its line of Bundt cake mixes.

| Thanks for the info, guys!
Now that I understand this, I know I have seen the little critters
before, only I didn't know they had a special name.
