Bake from Scratch® x Williams Sonoma Nonstick Cast Aluminum Chateau Cake Pan

Summary

We teamed up with Brian Hart Hoffman, the influential founder and editor of Bake from Scratch magazine, to bring you well-designed tools that make baking easier. A scratch-baking enthusiast since childhood, Brian lent his expertise to our Château cake pan, which turns out a showstopping cake with ladyfinger-style scalloped sides and an ornate top. The cast aluminum ensures quick heating and a golden crust, and our premium nonstick finish releases the details intact. For an elegant dessert, finish your cake with a drizzle of glaze or a sprinkling of confectioners' sugar.
