A Bundt tin is a round baking pan with a tube in the middle with fluted sides. The cake comes out of the tin like an upside-down dome and has a hole in the middle. Bundt was a trademarked name, but now the term is used like an everyday word. Not sure if you use this word in the UK though. Maybe this shape of tin is called something else? Anyway it's used a lot to bake Angel Food Cake, a very light spongy cake covered in strawberries and served with cream. I posted this above but decided to go back and Google Gugelhof and it's the same baking tin. Made by a different company. All seem to be a European idea. parcher 18-05-2005, 20:01 If it is a fairly tall tin, it could be a kugelhopf Grissom 18-05-2005, 21:05 Waitrose have angel food cake tins in their glossary http://www.waitrose.com/food_drink/recipes/glossary/cookingglossary/Angelfoodcaketin.asp and there is a good history and recipe page here : http://www.baking911.com/cakes/angel.htm Yum :clap: ========= History: Angel Food or "angel cake" is thought to be a takeoff of the sponge cake and cornstarch cake. It is felt that the abundance of cake molds in southeastern Pennsylvania, one of the major producer of cake molds, indicates that the angel food cake originated there in the 1800s. It is also felt that the first angel food cakes were probably baked by African-American slaves from the South because making this cake required a strong beating arm and lots of labor to whip the air into the whites. Angel food cakes are a traditional African-American favorite for post-funeral feasting. Hels 19-05-2005, 03:00 I know what you mean - can't think of the proper name though! Now let me thing - a dariole mould is where they are smallish but tall bowl things... The small rounds with a hole in are rum baba's ..... nope, can't think of it - but it's going to bug me now till i find out! This is when I regret giving away my be-ro baking book! |
