tube pan recipes, tips, and hints?

[Kateri-Marie]

I just borrowed a tube pan from my mother so that I could "experiment". I had a recipe for sunshine cake that I will make, but does anyone have any tube pan recipes that I could try before I give it back? Or ant tips and hints about tube pans? I never used one before so all will be appreciated. Thanks so much!
God bless

Try an Angel food cake recipe. No fat. The cake is suspended upside down before its released from the pan.

Tube cake pans are so much fun to use. They always turn out pretty, plus they are easy to cut into slices when you make a cake this way. I am always interested in tube pan cake recipes. Chocolate pound cake turns out great!
