Can I use an angel food cake pan for a Bundt cake? ›

The cake may not rise properly, and an airy angel food or chiffon cake will stick in the intricate crevices of the pan, resulting in a messy-looking cake when you remove it. However, you can use a tube pan for recipes that call for a Bundt pan in many cases.

They are typically quite easy to assemble (think pound cake) and are so stand-alone pretty and festive without even a drop of glaze, or a swoosh of frosting. Of course you can decorate a Bundt to the hilt, if you so desire, but we just want you to know that there is no requirement that you do so.

Because Bundt pans are so deep and hold so much cake, Mark says you will have to lengthen the baking time. The oven temperature does not have to change. Most Bundt cake recipes are baked for 60 minutes or more. Check for doneness at the 45-minute mark.

Heavily spray a 10 cup bundt pan with baking spray that contains flour. Pour the batter in evenly and bake for 55 mins. Follow the steps outlined in the post to remove the cake safely. Serve with fresh fruit and confectioners sugar or ½ cup chocolate chips melted and drizzled over the cake.

That is a great question. Here are the directions for baking our Betty Crocker Angel Food cake mix in a 13 x 9" pan. You can use metal or glass for this recipe. Happy baking!

How much batter should go into a Bundt pan? Broadly speaking, a classic 10-cup pan should contain enough batter to reach the two-thirds mark, but should be no more than three-quarters full.

To make a box cake mix rise higher, try using a smaller pan, adding an extra egg, using milk instead of water, adding baking powder, mixing for longer, using room temperature ingredients, baking at a higher temperature, or using cake strips.

On average, a 10-12 cup bundt cake will take between 45 minutes to 1 hour to bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). It is important to check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick or cake tester into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.

You can use a regular cake pan and use a ramekin dish weighed down with pie weights or rice to create the whole in the middle! (Make sure it's securely weighed down so you don't have batter slipping underneath!

Is there a difference between a Bundt pan and an angel food cake pan? ›

Bundt pans have fluted sides and are less ideal for a chiffon cake or angel food cake, but are otherwise pretty interchangeable with tube pans, according to Lolley.

Use a regular round cake pan for the base, then place an empty, clean can (remember to remove the label and any adhesive!) in the center. Fill the can with rice to weigh it down, then spray the whole thing with nonstick spray and you're ready to fill the pan with batter and start baking. Brilliant!

Pour the batter into a loaf pan (I use a 9×4 inch pan.) Do not grease the pan! The batter needs something to hold onto as it's baking. Place the loaf in the oven at 350 degrees and bake for about 45 minutes or until the center of the loaf seems done.
