Angel Food Cake Pan

I had to import mine to Sweden, they don't do angel food or chiffon cakes here, but do I need to pack it again for my move to the UK?  Inquiring minds want to know.

Yes, you won't find a proper angel food cake pan over here - at least, i've yet to see one. I bought one and lugged it back with me in a duffel bag..

If there is no proper pan, do they make the mixes you can buy in US stores?

no mixes.

What exactly is a "proper angel food cake pan"? Is it a bundt pan?  If so, you can find them here.  I have seen them

It has a removal center. That is what I would call a proper one.

That link takes me to the main page.  I know what you mean though and I'm pretty sure I have seen them here. I have had mine for a long time though.

That should work. If not I give up! Links never work for me.

I CAN find angel food cake mixes at Grey's American Food Store in Stockholm and Malmö, but I don't care for the chemical type taste they tend to have, so I get busy with the bowl and whisk on the rare occasions I'm moved to do angel food.  But I like using the pan for my lemon poppyseed cake as well, although that works in a bundt pan too.  Thanks for the advice, I guess I'll toss the tube pan in with the other stuff to be shipped.

I couldn't find a proper angel food can pan either and wouldn't use a bundt cake pan.  I had a friend bring one over from the US.

whats the difference between a bundt pan and an angel food pan?
I thought they were the same.

From what I've seen, bundt cake pans often have a ripply texture on the top and are a solid (ie, no removable bits), shorter pan.  The angel food cake pan is taller, the mold is smooth and the center cone is removable.

Yep.. that's the difference alright!

Plus the angel food cake pan has little "feet" on the top part of it, so you can invert the pan when it comes out of the oven and it will rest on those feet.  If you don't do that, because of the high volume of air in an angel food cake, if left upright while cooling, it will sink down to about half the size and be heavy.  Bundt pans are for heavier cakes that have the structure and volume to support their own weight.

You may have luck finding one at TK Maxx -- I found one there about six months ago.
