So it feels entirely right that one of Nordic Ware's most architectural shapes is called Bavaria. The pan is inspired by European architecture, with sculpted ridges and deep geometric grooves that make the cake look like a little vaulted ceiling in a Bavarian church – only tastier, and with far fewer tourists.
The deep grooves do more than look good. Icing sugar settles in the furrows and glaze runs down the sides and collects in the pattern, so even a simple sponge or a spiced coffee cake looks like something from a Munich patisserie. The pan holds approx. 2.4 litres, enough for a generous cake for a whole coffee party.
The pan is cast in thick aluminium, which spreads heat evenly so the cake bakes the same in every little angle and doesn't burn at the edges while staying gooey in the middle. The inside has a non-stick coating that makes the cake release easily. Grease the pan thoroughly with butter and dust with flour or cocoa before every bake, fill it no more than three-quarters full and let the cake cool for about ten minutes before turning it out.
Nordic Ware is the family business from Minneapolis that created the first Bundt pan in 1950 and still casts its pans in the USA.
