Nordic Ware Classic Cast Pound Cake Pan

This pan has an 18-cup capacity. While it is large enough for most standard cake mixes, ensure your recipe yields enough batter to fill the pan appropriately to achieve the intended shape and rise.

While the pan features a nonstick surface, we recommend lightly greasing and flouring the interior—especially around the center tube—to ensure a flawless release for intricate cake designs.

To preserve the integrity of the nonstick coating and the cast aluminum finish, we recommend hand washing the pan with warm, soapy water rather than using a dishwasher.

Cast aluminum is an excellent heat conductor, meaning it heats up quickly and distributes heat evenly. You may find that your cakes bake slightly faster than in traditional steel pans, so it is wise to start checking for doneness a few minutes before the recipe's suggested time.

No, you should avoid using metal utensils, as they can scratch and damage the nonstick coating. Stick to silicone, nylon, or wooden tools to keep the surface in good condition.
