I have that pan, and a smaller, lighter weight one, NOT made by Nordic ware. I just realized that the smaller one is over 30 years old! It came with a set of Regal cookware that a friend and his parents gave us for a wedding gift! I have one sauce pan left from the set and the cake pan.
You could kill somebody with that pan. :-)
Thanks much. I forwarded the link to this post to Dr. Mrs. jimfree whose first college degree was in Home Economics Education. (Fontbonne College for you folks in the St. Louis area)
OOOooooohhhh! I'm making that THIS weekend! "Vielen Danke!" for the recipe!

By the way, have you ever used Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum (or any other spiced rum) for this recipe?
I would think that you may use any kind of rum with this recipe. Not sure about the spices in the spiced rum, but chocolate tastes good with cinnamon, ginger, etc.
I got this recipe from a friend a few years ago. She brought the cake to a Christmas dessert buffet and many of the guests, myself included, begged her (more like hounded her!) for the recipe.
It's now a New Years tradition in my home. Just what everyone needs--more fattening foods at the very end of the holidays! ;)
Hey, sometimes I bake from scratch, sometimes I don't. Betty Crocker makes a decent chocolate cake mix (the one with real butter) and during the holidays I need all the time savers I can get my hands on. This cake tastes fabulous.
However, every single batch of cookies I bake (gingerbreadmen, almond sugar cookies, snoballs, date-nut filled, and cranberry nut chews) at Christmas time are made from scratch! :)
BTTT
Bundt To The Top!
As a bundt pan collector, I am going to be entering a period of deep morning now.
Son #1 added the Bavarian and the Rose pan to my collection this Christmas. My absolute favorite one though is the Catheral pan. Very impressive to take to parties & pot lucks.
Hey, it's great to collect things that you can really use!!
I use my bundt pan to make a noodle ring. Boil the wide noodels, drain, mix with a 1/4 pound of melted butter, and bake in the bundt pan. Turn the ring out onto a serving platter, pour melted cheddar cheese on the ring and fill the center with cooked Brussel Sprouts.
morning = mourning
Yes, sometimes I can even spell as I bake bundts!!
FWIW, the German Chocolate Cake doesn't come from Germany. It's named after Samuel German, a chocolate maker. Yet I'm sure some people have convinced themselves that it's exactly what their ancestors were eating in Vienna or the Black Forest or the Harz Mountains.
What was the point of the pan? If you poured Bundt mix into a different-shaped pan did that make the result inedible? Or would it just be a social faux pas?
Well, the cake wouldn't be nearly as pretty, easy to frost or slice! Mmmm! Bundt cakes!
Heehee. Now that's more like it.
Heehee.
Hahaha.
That would be quite a tickle with all the ridges of the typical Bundt pan shape.
