Baker's Secret Nova 9" Non-Stick Cast Aluminum Fluted Tube Cake Pan

I've baked four cakes in this pan and every one released cleanly with crisp, beautiful fluting. The cast aluminum bakes so evenly that my usual over-browned edges are gone. It feels like a pan that will outlive me, honestly. Best bakeware purchase in years.

Release is effortless with a quick spray, and the crust browns uniformly. The 9-inch size is perfect for standard bundt recipes. Only minor gripe is it's heavier than my old aluminum pan, but that weight is why it performs so well.

My first cake released in one piece with zero effort. Highly recommend.

The pan bakes well and releases easily, which is the important part. But the decorative ridges come out a bit softer than in the product photos. Maybe my batter was too thin. Functional and well made regardless.

My old $8 bundt pan always left half the cake behind and burned the edges. The Nova's double-layer non-stick released my marble cake perfectly on the very first try, and the crumb baked evenly all the way through. Cleanup took thirty seconds. The price with the coupon made it an easy decision and it's exceeded expectations.

Bought this to make my grandmother's tunnel of fudge cake for family dinners. It works beautifully — even baking, easy release, nice detail on the finished cake. Cast aluminum feels sturdy and quality. Docked one star only because I wish it had a slightly wider base for stability in the oven.

The pan looks great in theory, but mine arrived with a small chip on the rim of the tube section. Haven't baked in it yet because I'm worried about the coating. Awaiting a replacement, will update.

I've owned tube pans since the 1960s and this one ranks with the best of them. The heavy cast construction bakes my pound cake evenly with a delicate golden crust, and the non-stick release rivals any pan I've used. My lemon-glazed bundt came out so pretty my bridge club demanded the recipe. A quality piece at a fair price.
