The Bundt pan is a crown-shaped bakeware item specially designed to accommodate a bundt cake like the french Savarin, the german Kugelhupf, the yummy Angel Food Cake or simply a pound cake. It can be made of non-stick metal steel or silicone so to facilitate the baking and unmolding of the cake.

There is no real specific cake recipe associated to the Bundt cakes. However the also written Kugelhopf which was originally made in this type of mold is a crumbly cake garnished with rum soaked raisins and sprinkled with icing sugar. The delicacy is usually served at tea time. It is also often appreciated with a fruity eau-de-vie.

Which bundt cake recipe to bake in this cake pan?

 A Kugelhuf or a Rum Baba of course, but also all the cakes to which we want to give a pretty crown shape and the list is long: Paris Brest, spice cake, marble cake, chocolate cake Strawberry Charlotte, carrot cake, Christmas wreath, brioche, cheesecake, monkey bread.

The famous Rum Baba cake 

If there is one bundt cake recipe which embodies the festive spirit it is certainly the rum baba cake.  was invented by pastrycake chef Nicolas Stohrer who worked for King Stanislaus, a former Polish King who was exiled to France. To please king Stanislas who was nostalgic of his country but especially Polish pastries, the baker would have made a kind of Kugelhuf  that he would have soaked with wine to prevent the cake is too dry. Legend has it that King Stanislaus named this pastry as a tribute to the One Thousand and One Nights night character Ali Baba. Later in 1725, Nicolas Stohrer improved the recipe for the baba by replacing the Tokaji wine-based alcoholic syrup with a rum-flavored syrup and opened a pastry shop in Paris. The famous Rum Baba was born.

Did you know that the French have developed their own Rum Baba cake named the Savarin? The Savarin cake was invented by the Julien brothers in Savarin in 1844. The savarin dough is similar to the baba dough (a leavened dough). The big difference is the soaking syrup, we replace the rum with Kirsch. It is also customary not to add raisins in savarin. The name of this pastry comes from the famous French writer and gastronomist Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin who has unveiled the secret of the recipe for kirsch soaking syrup to one of the Julien brothers.

In summary, the dough is the same but the soaking syrup and filling and therefore the final cake different.

Savarin dough or baba dough is an art that professional cooks and pastry chefs need to master nowadays. Without going into the details of the recipe for the dough, we can say that the secret of success lies in the rest time left to the dough for it to rise.

How to make a baba cake or a savarin?

  2. You will need to soak your savarin dough as you soak a biscuit or sponge cake with a syrup (water and sugar) alcoholic and flavored (rum, kirsch or without alcohol depending on your preferences). It will be done to absorb the cooked dough a specific amount of liquid to make it soft, to prolong its conservation and to avoid drying out the dough.
