A Bundt cake is a nightmare to store. It’s too tall and too wide for most tins, cling film sticks to the glaze and pulls bits off when you unwrap it, and a regular cake dome usually leaves the top pressed against the lid. So it ends up on a plate with foil tented over it, going stale from the edges in.
Nordic Ware, the company most people link with the Bundt pan in the first place, sells a keeper made for exactly this shape. It’s a sensible bit of design, and the clear lid means you can see at a glance how much is left.
What the Nordic Ware keeper actually is
The Nordic Ware Translucent Bundt Cake Keeper is a fluted base with a clear domed cover shaped like a Bundt. You set the cake on the base, put the cover on and twist to lock it. The shape matters here: because the lid follows the ridges of the cake, there’s room for the whole thing without a lot of wasted air space.
Before you order, these are the sizes to know:
- 12.6 inches across the outside, 6.5 inches tall from base to lid
- Inside, 10.6 inches wide with up to 5 inches of height for the cake
- BPA and melamine free plastic, and dishwasher safe
Check those interior measurements against your own pan before buying. Most standard Bundt pans will fit, but if yours is an unusually large or tall one, a domed cake will press against the cover.
Is it only for Bundts?
No, though it’s best at them. A round sponge or a stack of scones fits underneath fine as long as it’s under that 5 inch height. The twist lock also makes it handy for carrying a cake to someone else’s house, which is when cling film fails you most.
Fair warning: it’s bulky, and it doesn’t nest inside anything, so think about which cupboard it’ll live in. It comes in a soft Sea Glass green on the listing, which looks nicer on the side than a plastic tub would. Here’s the Nordic Ware Bundt keeper on Amazon.
