DISPOSABLE BUNDT CAKE PAN RECIPES

Steps:

• Lower the oven rack to the next to lowest position.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease and flour a tube pan. If you are baking in a dark colored pan, reduce the temperature to 325 degrees and you may need to bake a bit longer.
• Strawberry Puree and Reduction— Wash and slice 1 pound of strawberries. Puree using a food processor or blender ( I used a Bullet smoothie blender) until you have 1 cup puree.  Put the puree in a saucepan over medium heat and cook until it reduces to 1/2 cup, stir frequently. Set aside to cool.  Reducing the puree gives you the flavor of 1 cup puree without adding too much liquid to the recipe.
• In a separate bowl whisk the flour and baking powder to combine, set aside for later
• In the bowl of your mixer, cream the butter until sooth.  Gradually add the sugar and beat at  medium speed until lightened in color and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes, a bit longer if using a hand mixer.
• Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each until the yolk disappears.
• In a 1 cup measuring cup, add 1/2 cup milk plus 1/2 cup of the reduced strawberry puree.  If you end up having a bit less than 1/2 cup, when you add it to the 1/2 cup milk, add more milk to bring the total liquid to 1 cup. Add the 2 teaspoons strawberry extract to the cup. Set Aside
• Add the flour/baking powder mixture alternately with the milk/puree mixture.  Begin and end with the dry ingredients (3 additions of dry ingredients and 2 of wet ingredients.  Do not mix above medium speed.   If adding a little pink coloring gel, you can do so at this time.
• Pour the cake batter into prepared tube pan/bundt pan and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a long wooden skewer comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.  Keep an eye on the cake, if the top of the cake begins to get to dark, loosely place a piece of aluminum foil over it. Check at 1 hour for doneness.
• Remove the baked cake from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for about 10-15 minutes before carefully inverting the pan onto a cake board or cake plate.
• 2 1/2  cups (230g) powdered sugar (sift then measure)
• 2 to 3 Tablespoons milk  depending on how thick you want the glaze
• 1 teaspoon (4g) vanilla extract  (use clear extract for a whiter glaze)
• Mix all ingredients until smooth.  If it is too thick add a little more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time. Add more powdered sugar if it is too thin.  

Steps:

• Grease and flour a tube pan.
• Lower the oven rack to the next to lowest position. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• In a separate bowl whisk the flour and baking powder to combine, set aside for later.
• Cream the butter with the paddle attachment in your mixer, gradually add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the eggs one at a time blending after each to incorporate.
• Add the vanilla and lemon extract to the l cup of milk. Add the flour mixture alternately with the milk to the butter, sugar, egg mixture. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. I add the dry 3 times and milk twice.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
• This makes approximately 8 cups of batter.
• Allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before flipping out onto wire rack.
• **This is also the recipe that we use in our petit fours video! For petit fours, we pour into an 11x15 inch pan so that they are nice and short (approximately 1 1/4 inches tall).
