Bundt Day

Bundt Day: Defying Squares With Style🍰

Imagine a world where cakes defy the square norms and embrace the circular rebellion of the Bundt revolution inviting bakers to let the hole be the center of tasty attention.
Bundt cake is a ring-shaped cake typically baked in a Bundt pan, which is a cast-iron or aluminum pan with a fluted design.
Crafted for even baking, the Bundt pan’s iconic hole helps to create an even distribution of heat, resulting in a cake that’s cooked perfectly all around and has a moist, tender texture.
Let’s get around to the center of Bundt Day, where every bite’s a round of applause!

Bundt Chronicles: The Hole Story 🌪️🍩

The word “Bundt” is thought to have originated from the German word “Bundkuchen,” which means “bund cake”, where “bund” is the German word for “group” or “gathering”. This implies that this cake is perfect for sharing.
Bundt cakes are indeed perfect for sharing slices that are all exactly shaped alike and baked like the other slices and with the exact ratio of insides and crust.
Quite opposite to sharing brownies where the enjoyment is divided in “team corner” vs “team sidecrust” vs “team crustless”.

The Bundt cake was invented in 1950 by H. David Dalquist, the founder of Nordic Ware. Dalquist was inspired by the traditional kugelhopf cake, a ring-shaped cake that’s popular in Germany and other Central European countries.
The Bundt cake didn’t gain widespread popularity until the 1960s. In 1966, Nordic Ware launched a marketing campaign that featured bundt cakes on the cover of magazines and cookbooks. The campaign was a success, and Bundt cakes quickly became a staple in kitchens, bakers unleashed their creativity, turning each cake into a work of edible art.
Fast forward to 2006, and Nordic Ware declared, “Let there be Bundt Day!” as a homage to 60 years of circular perfection. And to sell more Bundt pans, of course.
Whether a marketing masterstroke or a genuine cake conspiracy, Bundt Day has us hooked on the circular sweetness.
