30 DAYS OPEN PURCHASESome cakes are for every day and others are for parties, and this pan has clearly decided on the latter. Elegant Party is the classic ring pan with a hole in the middle, but with arched sides and soft, fluted folds that make the finished cake look like a ruffled skirt or an old-fashioned gâteau from a bygone era when people dressed up to drink coffee.
The pan is made for cakes that take centre stage. A dense pound cake, a spiced coffee cake or a moist lemon cake with a glaze that runs down the folds and pools in the arches. It's just as good for a party as for a Sunday afternoon when you have a little extra time, and even a simple cake looks as if it took far more work than it did. The pan holds approx. 2.4 litres, enough for a whole party.
The pan is cast in thick aluminium that conducts heat evenly, so the cake bakes the same in every fold and gets an even, golden surface. The inside has a non-stick coating, and with thorough greasing with butter and a little flour or cocoa before every bake, the cake releases easily and keeps its shape. Fill it no more than three-quarters full and let the cake cool a little before turning it out.
