The bundt cake pan has a long tradition: Even the Romans are said to have prepared sweet pastries in it. It is also known as a bundt, bowl, or wreath pan, but it always features the characteristic chimney in the center, which is also found in classic pudding molds. The hole in the middle serves a purpose: it allows heat to spread quickly throughout the pan, enabling even baking of the batter. The high bundt cake pan is available both as a single piece and as a leak-proof springform with a removable tube base. The materials may vary depending on the series. The metal bundt cake pan has a double-reinforced ceramic non-stick coating. The platinum silicone model features elaborate handles, is heat-resistant, and can be placed in the dishwasher for cleaning.
