bundt cake

Non-PRO English to Finnish Other Cooking / Culinary Baking
What could "bundt cake" be in Finnish? It seems you can put almost anything in it. You put it in a high pan that has a hole in the middle.

bundt -kakku

The original "bund" from which the name "bundt" was trademarked means gathering
in German. Because bundt is a trademark name there is no way to translate it and I suggest "bundt -kakku" as being best.
Note space before hyphen. The Finnish for cake is "kakku"

neutral Minna Wood MITI (Purring CAT Ltd.) (X) : Don't know about "bundt", but according to the Finnish grammar rules there should be no space before the hyphen!

1 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks for your help. That hyphen thing still puzzles me! Where is it common usage to put a space before the hyphen, even if the first part does not consist of two or more parts? I've never seen that before this, and hopefully never will! It seems quite odd. Katja"
