Wikipedia: A Bundt cake is a dessert cake cooked in a Bundt pan forming it into a distinctive ring shape. Bundt cake is pronounced "bunt", the "d" being silent and comes from the german word bund for a gathering.
The biggest problem with this whole bundt cake idea was getting hold of the bundt pan itself, which seemed impossible. None of the bake shops had any idea what I was talking about. So, I finally found something or at least, I thought it did, that resembled a bundt pan & decided to make do with it. Two words, Bad Idea.
The cake was not a total failure, but I overestimated the time it required to cook in the oven due to the size of the pan. If you have an idea on how a bundt pan looks like, you'll get what I'm saying. Bundt pans normally require a longer cooking time, but as for mine, the batter was too little for the large pan, thus the dark shade.
It would have probably looked better if I were to decorate it, but I was too lazy and disappointed with the outcome to bother fixing it. Admist the dark shade, the inside of the cake was very yellow and it's texture was just about right. I'm going to be a little more adventurous and see if I can make the texture softer or more sponge like.
I'm doing a second run on this cake with another pan just to see if it works better. In the mean time, I'm still looking for a proper bundt pan. Please let me know if you have any idea on where to get one.
