About crevices in fancy bundt pans - I bought small/medium new artist's brushes (natural hair round ones work best), sterilized them and marked them "for food use only". It makes quick work of spreading the spray, butter, shortening, or homemade Pam and you won't get the "too much oil" problem that makes bubbles. Other sizes I use in the kitchen include a 1" wide one that looks like a paint brush for watering down the insides of pans when I make candy, jam, or something that should not have stray undissolved sugar clinging there since it might cause the food to recrystallize after cooking to high temp. Lots cheaper and better made than those sold exclusively for food prep. Tan natural bristles are best, IMO, because they can be sterilized, while nylon or poly brushes do not last long on really hot pans. Craft stores run discounts on artist's brushes every month it seems, so stock up when you see an ad. Nancy Here is a link that might be useful: Removing underlined text on pages

I love bundt cakes and I'm eager to try the Sour Cream Lemon cake. I make rum cake with a bundt pan. Yesterday, I made a dozen mini-bundt rum cakes for my dentist and his staff. I made one cake without nuts and he thanked me graciously as he thought I knew he had an allergy--I was just being cautious. Nothing new here but it is one of my favorites. Golden Rum Cake An easy way to glaze the cake is to pour half of the glaze into Bundt pan, reinsert cake, then pour the rest of glaze over the bottom of the cake. Let absorb well then invert back onto platter. 1 cup chopped pecans 1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding 4 eggs 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup walnut or vegetable oil 1/2 cup dark rum 1/2 cup butter 1/4 cup water 1 cup white sugar 1/2 cup dark rum (Appleton Estates is a recommended brand) 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan. Sprinkle chopped nuts evenly over the bottom of the pan. 2. In a large bowl, combine cake mix and pudding mix. Mix in the eggs, 1/2 cup water, oil and 1/2 cup rum. Blend well. Pour batter over chopped nuts in the pan. 3. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Let sit for 10 minutes in the pan, and then turn out onto serving plate. Brush glaze over top and sides. Allow cake to absorb glaze and repeat until all glaze is used. 4. To make the glaze: in a saucepan, combine butter, 1/4 cup water and 1 cup sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat and continue to boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup rum. Double the glaze and while the cake was still hot and in the pan, took a skewer and make little holes all over the cake. Poured half of the glaze in the holes while it cooled a bit in the pan. Inverted the cake and pour the rest of the glaze over it.

I've made this 3 times. The fist two times by the recipe, the second one seemed to be too moist and the batter a little thin. I made one last week and only used 3/4 cup water, and 3/4 cup oil. It turned out great! I always make it by the recipe, tweaks come later.. BTW it really doesn't need an icing. It is a keeper here. hope you like it. Posted by Kayce at Nanas Kitchen.

You might try applying a coat of DAWN Platinum Erasing Dish Foam (foam plus a little water to make it spread farther and stay wetter) and let it sit on the problem areas of the pan long enough to soften the baked-on crud, then clean as normal. I have the 12-cup mini-Bundt pan similar to the one in your picture and use it all the time without the build-up problem. I spray my pans with Bakers & Chefs Cooking Spray making sure I carefully wipe off any over-spray that is on the flat surfaces before filling the pan. I've been using this cooking spray for around 20-years and don't have gunky pans, and I make all our baked goods all the time using somepans that are as much as 30-40 years old. I've also been cleaning my baking pans with the DAWN foam products since they came out on the market. -Grainlady
