The ring-shaped pan’s history dates to 1950, when David Dalquist, founder of the Nordic Ware kitchenware company, dreamed it up for a society of Jewish women in Minnesota who wanted to make kugelhopf (a yeasted cake with a hole in the center). Dalquist cast his design for the ladies and, voilà, the Bundt pan was born. Today there are thousands of recipes that take you beyond kugelhopf; for that matter, there are recipes that take you beyond cake. (Meatloaf in a Bundt, anyone?)

And not only can you get creative with ingredients, but Bundt pans now come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and materials — from the basic (Nordic Ware’s cast aluminum pinwheel design) to glass and silicon pans that produce cakes resembling a pine forest, a holiday wreath or an elaborate sandcastle. There are even mini Bundt pans for individual-sized treats. Once you’ve selected a pan, the pros know that the key to Bundt cake perfection is properly preparing your pan so the unmolding process comes off without a hitch, says Brian Hart Hoffman, author of The Bundt Collection, a cookbook with more than 100 recipes and tips for baking your best Bundt. Never use ordinary cooking spray, Hoffman says, since it will cause your cake to stick. Instead, use a baking spray that contains flour — the secret weapon for a quick and easy Bundt release. (You could also try greasing and flouring the inside of the pan yourself, but the intricate designs may have you reaching for a spray the next time.) Then, says Hoffman, let your Bundt pan do all the work. “Bakers can make banana bread, pound cakes and quick breads easily without worrying about decorating after ,” he says. “The pan shape is the work of art.”
