You may have heard this baking mold called a turk's head or a bundt mold. No matter the name, it is one fine piece of baking equipment.

The kugelhopf is made of commercial-weight steel that provides even and gentle heat. La Forme baking molds are coated inside and out with two layers of non-stick for perfect release. Made with a Kai-ramic coating that is PTFE and PFOE-free, there is no need to flour. Just buttering lightly insures the cake will drop out intact after about 10 to 15 minutes of cooling. I usually drop the oven temperature by about 25 degrees, because the pan is so efficient in heat distribution. This decorative baking mold makes a spectacular presentation for my lemon buttermilk cake. It will reward you nicely, also.

Kaiser extends a 3-year warranty on the Kugelhopf pan. It is available in two sizes: 4-1/2 cups and 9 cups.
