The Kit
Bundt in the Oven
The history of baking’s most distinctive tin
The Bundt cake has its roots in Europe
and the brioche-like cake called Gugelhupf
that was popular with Jewish communities
in Germany and Austria. It was known
as Bundkuchen in the north of Germany.
Kuchen is cake and bund is either: a bunch
or bundle, Dutch for turban, refers to a group
of people or the fluted appearance of the
cake is similar to a bundle or sheaf of wheat.
American cooker manufacturer Nordic
Ware added a ’t’ for trademark reasons and
introduced the Bundt tin in the 1960s. They
nearly discontinued it due to poor sales until
a competition saw it rise in popularity like
the ring shaped cake in the oven. It probably
wasn’t until The Great British Bake Off that
the UK fell for its distinctive nobbly charms
though. Nordic Ware’s Bundt pan can now be
found in over 70 million households.
