I enjoyed reading this, thank you. I’m wondering now if you made your yummy chocolate cake in a Bundt pan?
Such interesting history about Nordic Ware too. Did you know they make a Star of David pan as tribute to the Jewish women behind the original pan? You may be owed commission from Nordic Ware as I may proceed to buy one and tell all my friends. Rosh Hashanah is on the horizon and a Magen David on the table would be very uplifting I think!
Thank you for reading my post and for the compliment.
Actually I did not use a bundt pan. I was using a Dunkin Hines prepackaged cake mix and a regular circular pan. It was such a disaster. I still have baking nightmares because of it....
Something in the back of my head remembers the Star of David cake pan, but rather foggily. I would love a commission from Nordic Ware, wonder how I go about getting that...Rosh Hashanah is later this year. Not til October. Too many weeks until then. Who knows what is going to happen...sigh.
I just write how I feel about things and to those of us, like me, who are older than 50. Is it old fashioned ethics and morals? I don't consciously think about morals and ethics when I write. I truly just write what pops into my head.
I hadn't thought about Pam. We have switched to avocado spray. No chemicals.
We’re on the same page again, my friend. Except I do have something to add about Bundt cakes: It’s really hard to get them neatly out of the pan without the parts around the hole sticking. There must be a life-lesson in that too.
Mom always had perfect bundt cakes. I can't bake to save my life.
I remember years ago, probably 40 by now, I tried to bake my father a birthday cake, after 2 hours in the oven it was still raw. And then there was my attempt at challah that turned green.
So, I have no real hacks for sticking bundt cakes, except maybe more butter and flour in the pan prep or use a teflon pan?
For a life lesson does that mean we should add more butter to everything. Afterall butter does make everything better :)
Absolutely yes. As I was writing this post I was thinking about that scene where the very WASPY in-law (I was going to write machataenista but didn't think enough people would know what that was) brought a bundt cake and the Greek family couldn't pronounce it properly and had no idea what it was.

Indeed.. we will keep on keeping on; regardless, we WILL stay strong. All good thoughts with you.
You seem to be writing to a group with an established moral compass.
A shrinking demographic.
Use spray like Pam for baking. I know it’s full of chemicals. The cake comes right out.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding had a thing about a bundt cake- did you see that? “Boont” something like that

Right?!
Oooh I’ll have to rewatch that. I can’t remember that scene.
