Bundt Cake - Chocolate Chip Pound Cake

 

A bundt cake is a dessert cake that is baked in a bundt pan, shaping it into a distinctive riged ring.

 

The pan sold somewhat slowly until a Pillsbury-sponsored baking contest in 1966 saw a bundt cake win second place. This prompted a scramble for the pans, causing them to surpass the tin Jell-O mold to become the most-sold pan in the United States. Since introduction, more than 50 million bundt pans have been sold by the Nordic Ware company.
