Would a bundt pan work for this recipe and if so, what would baking time be? Thank you.
I would think so? I’d estimate roughly the same amount of time – the batter would probably be thicker making me think it’d take longer, but the hole in the middle would allow it to cook maybe a little more quickly since the heat would come from all sides. If it were me, I’d set my oven timer for 30 minutes and then watch it closely from there! Good luck! If you do it and get a good result, message me back and I’ll add a note in the comments field about it! Thanks!
