Although you can too use a 12-cup Bundt pan, but it surely MUST be a 12-cup as a result of in the event you use something smaller the batter will overflow. I HIGHLY suggest this one, because the cake got here out of the pan completely! You’ll be able to see from the photographs that it is a very TALL cake. That is due to the whipped egg whites. For them to rise correctly, they want a deep pan.

You should use primary spherical tube pan with straight sides for this recipe and it’s best to line the underside of the tube pan with parchment or waxed paper, minimize to suit.
When going with the massive bundt pan, make sure to butter the complete pan, ensuring to grease the nooks and crannies properly, after which mud it with flour.

Can I exploit imitation Maple Syrup on this recipe?

So as to get a robust sufficient maple taste on this recipe, it is advisable to use pure maple syrup. Imitation or synthetic maple syrup doesn’t have the identical taste profile.

It’s HEAVENLY, so don’t skip it considering simply the pure maple syrup might be sufficient!
