Jennifer Garner’s Bundt Pan Is 39% Off at Amazon

As an avid home cook, Jennifer Garner always shares the best kitchen tips and recipes. The actress has been sporadically hosting her “Pretend Cooking Show” — an Instagram series seemingly filmed in her home kitchen—since the 2020 COVID lockdown, and the clips never fail to provide us with tips and inspiration. In a recent Instagram installment, Garner baked a delicious-looking whipped cream bundt cake recipe originally developed by Rose Levy Beranbaum, author of “The Cake Bible,” and our editors can’t wait to try the recipe out for ourselves.

We tracked down the exact bundt pan Garner used in the video and were pleased to discover that it’s already 39% off ahead of Amazon’s October Prime Day.

Nordic Ware Anniversary Bundt Pan, 6-Cup

The Nordic Ware Anniversary bundt pan is made from cast aluminum and is oven-safe up to 400°F. Garner uses the classic aluminum color in the video, but we like that the gold one is eye-catching and stands out among other pots and pans. As it turns out, Garner isn’t the only one who loves this pan. The bundt has hundreds of five-star ratings on Amazon, with one shopper noting that it’s “worth every cent.”

“The size couldn’t be more ideal,” a second Amazon buyer said, adding that the resulting cakes look “extraordinarily beautiful.” The pan has a 6-cup capacity (technically, it can hold up to 10 cups, but the brand recommends filling it no more than three-quarters of the way to avoid overflow).

Just be sure to grease the pan well, as bundt pans like this one tend to stick to whatever you’re baking. As definitive proof that stars really are just like us, Garner struggled to remove the cake from her pan in her Instagram cooking video, breaking off the top of the bundt in the process. “Taste trumps beauty when I’m the baker,” she joked in the caption. Unsurprisingly, Garner had a clever solution to the mishap — dusting the top with powdered sugar to hide any imperfections.

To avoid the same fate, remember: More is more when it comes to spraying or buttering bundt pans, so reach into each and every nook and cranny before adding your cake batter. Or, listen to the advice of one crafty commenter, who coats her pan with “homemade ‘cake goop’ using equal parts shortening, vegetable oil, and all-purpose flour.”
