Hello PJ: I thought I would add my words of Bundt cake wisdom here. A few years ago I was a finalist for the NordicWare Bundt contest. I had to bake a LOT of Bundt cakes. I have a collection of many designs that I collected through the years and for this contest too. Yeah...lots of failures and lots of sticky Bundts. My tried and true method for release of the cake is....use solid shortening (not melted) in all the nooks and crannies. Yes, use a silicone pastry brush. Then flour with Wondra flour very lightly. Tap out the excess. Don't leave the cake in the pan more than 15 minutes before trying to release the cake. Then...take the cake in a kitchen towel...gently rock it back and forth...DO A LITTLE DANCE...and the cake should feel released. Then and only then turn it out on your favorite platter. Success!
