What is an Angel Food Cake Pan, or a Tube Pan
An angel food cake pan is a specialized baking pan that is used to make angel food cakes. Angel food cakes are a light, fluffy type of cake that is made with whipped egg whites as the main leavening agent. Because they are so light and fluffy, angel food cakes can be a little tricky to bake properly if you don’t have the right kind of pan.
Can I Use a Bundt Pan
No, a bundt pan cannot be used to make Angel Food Cake. Well, you could, but I don’t recommend it. A bundt pan is designed for heavier cakes. Angel Food cake rises because of the egg whites, and it has less flour. This makes it a very light cake that needs to cling to the sides of the pan to rise. If you use a bundt pan, you may end up with a flat, dense cake.
