Help!! My bunt pan has been lost!

What other kind of pan can I cook this in and at what time and temp?

Thanks!!

 

[pdswife]

oh... I guess can just do it in a 9x13 and bake like it says on the box. It won't be as pretty but... It'll still taste good...

I wonder if I could use my angel food cake pan?

 

[LPBeier]

Of course you can use an angel food pan in place of a bundt pan!

 

[pdswife]

OH cool!!! Would I cook it for the same amount of time?

 

[LPBeier]

Pretty much. Set timer for 40 minutes and check it from there on.

 

[Ol-blue]

I would use a angel food cake pan also and cook it the same.
