Why is it called bundt cake?
 Bundt cake gets its name from the ring-shaped pan in which it is baked. The Bundt pan was produced in 1950 by Nordic Ware founder H. David Dalquist at the request of the Minneapolis Hadassah Society. The society's members were looking for a modern pan suitable for making a popular German/Austrian coffeecake called bundkuchen. Traditional pans were either too-fragile ceramic or too-heavy cast iron. Dalquist made an aluminum version, adding a "t" at the end of the German word "bund" and trademarking it. When a Bundt cake won second place in a Pillsbury-sponsored baking contest in 1966, a Bundt pan craze ensued. Since then, more than 50 million pans have been sold by the Nordic Ware company.
