bundt

Hole-in-middle cake

A bundt is a ring-shaped cake baked in a distinctive fluted pan with a hollow center tube.

The pan's design ensures even baking and creates an ornamental shape that needs little decoration beyond a simple glaze or dusting of powdered sugar.

She made a chocolate bundt for the potluck.

The term derives from a trademarked pan design that became so popular the name is now used generically for any cake of this style.
