Nordic Ware Platinum Acorn Cakelet Pan

 (7 customer reviews)

I have used this pan three times in the past two weeks. Unlike some other pans, the acorn shape comes out perfect each time. The non-stick really does work. And my kids love to eat pumpkin bread in this shape. We are a gluten free family. This seems to be the perfect size for baking portions with the rice flour, which is more dense. This size makes our bread light and fluffy!!! Yum.

I've used this 4 times now for holiday baking and I love it! I brush on butter and use a fine strainer to dust it with flour in the sink. Dusting just the top of each with almond meal did not work well. The first time I used a pound cake mix. I over baked them, but they popped out perfectly anyway. Then I started using the Krusteaz gingerbread cake and cookie mix. Since these are cakelets, I used 1/4 cup less water than the cake recipe and added 2-3 Tbsp. of soft butter. I put 1 Tbsp. of batter in each acorn and baked them at 375 degrees for 22 minutes. Meanwhile I made a glaze of powdered sugar, heavy cream, milk, and the juice and zest of one lemon. I let them rest in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then dropped each in the glaze, rolled it over to coat it, and let it dry on a rack. They were so cute some guests thought they were just decoration. They loved the lemon in the glaze and are a good serving size, better than a cupcake. The glaze covering them seals in the moisture...Read more

love the baking sheet, I tried it with a spice cake recipe.. the batter was too thick to really show good detail, but the cakes baked fine and released well from the molds. I can't wait to try a different batter.
