Introduction

Get ready to celebrate National Bundt Day on November 15 and enjoy some delicious cake! This special day was created in the 1950s by Nordic Ware, a company that makes Bundt pans. The traditional Bundt cakes are made with a light, airy batter and baked in an iconic fluted pan with lots of nooks and crannies. But now you can make many other kinds of bundts too, like savory bundts or even mini ones for individual servings. Celebrate this special day with your family or friends over a slice (or two!) of yummy bundt cake!
