It worked, but I knew I'd have to grease and flour the shit out of the Bundt pan or else the cake wouldn't come out without breaking. It was nerve-wracking and I won't do it again. I haven't eaten Angel Cake in years either, and now that I think about it, I don't know why that is, because they are yummy.

Thank you for the details. Our Bundt pan is prehistoric, even pound cake sticks. I'll get one of those silicone ones and try it.

I use a bundt pan for fruitcake. It's really hard for the fruitcake to stick to the continuously curving surface of the thing, so it's ideal for when I want to extract the freshly cooked cake and do the QA while it's still hot.
