Babka Mold Patisse Classic 18 cm — small round baking tin for kugelhopf and bundt cakes

Patisse Classic 18 cm babka mold is a small round baking tin intended for preparing traditional bundt and kugelhopf cakes at home. The 18 cm diameter form features a fluted interior profile and central tube that promote even heat circulation and result in uniform baking of rich yeast or butter-based cakes. Constructed by Patisse for household ovens, the mold fits standard oven racks and is compact for convenient storage.

Advantages

The mold delivers consistent baking performance through its fluted shape and central chimney, which help the batter bake evenly from outer edges to the center. Its size is suited to single-family portions while still producing the characteristic decorative ring and defined pattern of babka and bundt cakes. The tin is finished for easy release and straightforward cleaning, reducing the need for excessive greasing. The compact round design makes it simple to store in kitchen cabinets or drawers.

Suitable for

• Babka and bundt cakes made with yeast, butter, or pound cake batters
• Holiday and celebration cakes with decorative shapes
• Small batch baking for family servings or gifting
• Baked desserts that require a central hole for faster, even cooking

How to use

Prepare the batter according to your recipe and lightly grease the inner surfaces if recommended by the recipe or to improve release. Pour the batter evenly into the mold, ensuring the central tube remains clear. Place the mold on the middle rack of a preheated oven and bake according to the temperature and time indicated by your recipe, checking doneness with a skewer or cake tester. Allow the cake to cool in the mold for a short time before inverting onto a wire rack to finish cooling and prevent breakage of the decorative fluted edges.

Usage recommendations

To extend the life of the baking tin and maintain definition of the fluted pattern, avoid sudden temperature shocks, clean with warm soapy water without abrasive pads, and store in a dry place. For best release, either use a light coating of butter or baking spray or follow the recipe's recommended method.
