What is the difference between regular and Bundt cakes?
The pan’s shape makes a bigger effect than the cake itself does. Because a Bundt pan is shaped like a donut, more batter contacts the pan. As a result, it has a crunchier outside and a soft, delicate interior. Almost all cakes contain the same four major components: sugar, flour, a fat (usually butter or oil), and a binding agent (usually eggs). Most also contain baking powder and/or baking soda. The Bundt typically contains less wheat and more eggs and butter.
