Growing up in Iowa, I’ve had my fair share of Bundt cakes. My mom also used her Bundt pan to bake pull-apart “monkey bread”. In high school, when we performed the annual Madrigal Dinner, the not-so-historically accurate Figgy Pudding was suspiciously Bundt-shaped (even with a flaming cup full of sterno filling the center hole). The fruitcake was also suspiciously sterno-flavored after being carried by distracted teenagers trying to walk, sing, and carry an open flame at the same time. I didn’t know that the Bundt was born in Minnesota! Or was it?
