Yes, but only because it was my grandma's and somehow when my mom and aunts cleaned out her house when she died, they decided it would go to me. I guess because they all had bundt pans and I'm the only one of my cousins that does much baking. So my mom gave it to me. I've only used it once or twice to make monkey bread lol. DD has used it more to make angel food cake.
The funny thing is I don't remember grandma making anything in it lol. She definitely baked, I just don't remember anything that would have used a bundt pan. But it's older and she must have had it for years.

I borrow my mom's for the occasional time I want to make rum cake. I do have a tube pan that I use quite often for chiffon cake.

I have only ever had one and it is really the only pan I use to make cake. My subconscious must have a fixation with giant donuts.

I do. I have a square pan and one of the multi-shape mini pans. I use both at least once a month, I'm the official baker for any family get-together, and I like to send treats to the office with my husband. I'm definitely going to be making this recipe soon! It looks delish!

Nope, never used one either. I don't know why cake needs a hole in the middle. For the flower! (My big fat Greek wedding!)😜

Yes. I think I might even have 2 sizes. I cannot remember when I last used them. At least 15 years. Along the same lines, I also have an angel food cake pan and a flan pan. Can't remember when I last used any of those either. And a couple different sizes of cheesecake pans and pie pans, which get used every Christmas. On my list of things to do is purge that cupboard and even if I just can't get rid of them yet (bad habit), I want to at least put them in a tote in the garage so that cupboard can be used for more useful things).

My mouth is watering. And that's annoying because I'm not good with apple, cream cheese, wheat flour or sugar. Other than that... ETA: I own a bundt pan, but I can't remember whether I've ever actually used it. I suspect not. I probably should - I have a lot of blackberries in the garden at the moment, and I just bought some plums. A wheat-free, sugar-free fruit upside-down cake recipe is calling me.

I have a couple LOL. And I use them several times a year. The decorative one is used for cakes, and the "normal" one gets used for things like monkey bread and some pull-apart appetizers.

OK, I've just emerged from a bundt cake rabbit hole with a bunch of extra Pins on my Food board on Pinterest. Pumpkin spice. Prune and apricot. Crystallised ginger... oh goodness

Yes, I use it for monkey bread and for my MIL's pistachio cake recipe. I haven't used it in a couple of years though.

I did and it was used once in 20 years so it didn't make the cut in the last cross-country move.

I do...i use it for a chocolate zucchini bundt cake That’s exactly why I have mine, and I got the recipe years ago from the peas. Maybe from you. ETA you can also bake angel food cake in a bundt pan. We love angel food cake in my family. I need this recipe please. I have never found a chocolate zucchini recipe that my family really enjoys. They prefer my zucchini bread.

I have 2. I bought the 2nd one when we were living in a rental & most of my kitchen stuff was in storage. I use them occasionally and always at the holidays to make monkey bread. One time, my son needed one for a school project, so glad I had it on hand.

I have one of the fancier ones from Wilton and also a mini pan that makes 6 or 8 little cakes.
I use the smaller one most often for blueberry muffins. They taste better if they look fancy!

Have one but rarely use it any more. However, in the past I have used it for meatloaf. Cooks faster. Serve with masked potatoes in the hole.

Perfect thread topic! I’m in the midst of kitchen cabinet cleaning and the bundt cake pan is one of only two things lingering in the Maybe Pile (along with the...wait for it... electric salad spinner, which is actually pretty cool). Convince me either way. People have been known to use salad spinners in place of the spin art kit from the 70's

It’s one of those things that I’ve been thinking about. I really want one but I’m not sure I’d be able to get the cake to release and I wonder how much I’d use it. Plus, I’d have to fit it in a suitcase my next visit home 😆

I have a stoneware Bundt pan from when I sold Pampered Chef . I mostly use it to make coffee cake. It comes out just perfect in that pan, so although I don’t use it that often, I wouldn’t want to get rid of it.

I don't have one but I want one. But I don't have room to store it so I won't buy one. I should ask my Mom if she has one I can borrow.

Yes, I use mine to make Pizza Monkey bread and meatloaf. Because I needed to honor George Carlin, and bring his concept of "MeatCake" to life. It became a family favorite! I have a photo, but I don't know how to include it.

I use mine several time a year. My MIL does a fresh apple cake in hers. Not for the diet conscious. To ice it she melts a stick of butter and adds a bit of powdered sugar and pokes a skewer in the hot cake and then pours the melted butter over the top.
I use mine to make a pull apart coffee cake with whomp biscuits and have even made pineapple upside down cake in it.
Any regular cake can be baked in a bundt pan. To ice, heat a can of frosting in the microwave until runny and pour over the cake slowly.

I am on my second one since I have been married (28 years next month). I wore out the non-stick, lol. I use mine at least once a month. I make monkey bread, banana bread (often) and a lemon supreme cake for my DD every year for her birthday. I am now off to Pinterest
