What Is A Bundt Pan?
The pans can be ceramic, aluminum, and even cast iron.
What Is A Tube Pan?
Most tube pans have straight sides and an uncoated finish.
They are often called “angel food pans” for this reason.
Once the cake is out of the oven, invert the pan, and let it cool upside down.
Can You Substitute A Bundt Pan Or Tube Pan?
However, you might use a tube pan for recipes that call for a Bundt pan in many cases.
Keep in mind that tube pans typically hold more batter than a bundt pan of the same size.
Also, a two-piece tube pan with a removable inner core has the potential to leak.
