30 Tube Pan Cake Recipes That Will Convince You To Get Yours Out
It's no secret that Southerners love to whip out a pretty Bundt pan for stunning results. With just a drizzle of icing, you have dessert ready for company without having to wrangle cake layers and fillings. But the true and unsung hero of pound cake recipes everywhere is the tube pan. The two pans are often interchangeable, but if you don't have a tube pan, these incredible recipes are going to convince you it's time to add one to your kitchen collection. The hollow tube in the center of the pan conducts heat so even the densest cakes cook through. Unlike intricate Bundt pan designs, tube cake pans usually have straight sides, which makes them ideal for light and airy recipes like angel food cake. Whether you're looking for a simple cake recipe like old-school pound cake or want to try something a little fancier like a new coffee cake or Orange Peel Pound Cake, these recipes prove it's time to dust of your tube pan.
