The Simple Bundt Cake – On The Rise Again

A new dessert trend might be on the rise – if a Tulsa, Okla., baker has her way. The Bundt cake – baked in the familiar ring-shaped pan invented by Nordic Ware – is at the same time easy to make and versatile. The revival of the Bundt cake seems to have a lot to do with baby boomer nostalgia for the 1960s, when the cakes became popular after someone’s creation won a Pillsbury Bake-Off. Though basically simple, Bundt cakes can be as fancy as desired, filled with cream centers, glazed, covered with sprinkles, or soaked with flavorings – the “perfect last-minute dessert for anyone”, says Susan Bohannon, a founder of the T-Town Cake Club.
