Bundt cake pans?!
Answers: I think this is a bundt.. It has the middle section that fits into the outside section. Whenever I bake with it, it always leaks out due to the two parts. How do I avoid this? I just lost a whole pound cake =[
What you have is an angel food cake pan or a tube pan. It is made in two pieces and is used strictly for the special stiffened egg white batter that turns into angel food cake, or sometimes for special pound cakes or coffee cakes that are thick enough not to run like regular cake batter.
In order for an angel food cake to stay fluffy it must be cooled while up-side-down (hence the little feet on the rim of the pan). My mom used to use an old glass pop bottle to hold the inverted cake off the counter.
A bundt pan is one piece and usually has a decorative pattern so that when you flip the cake out it is pretty and can be drizzled with icing rather than frosted.
Regular cake batter will not work properly in an angel food cake pan.

Hope that all makes sense/
Maybe the pan is warped.

most bundt cake pans i've seen have only one piece. what you described sounds more like a pan used for making angel food cake.
maybe you should try wrapping the pan with foil.
:)
a bundt cake pan has an open center and is circle with a design at bottom, almosts looks upside down. if it is a bundt cake you should bake it like that dont flip it or anything flip after cake is done.
Sounds like you might be using a gelatin mold instead of a bundt pan. Bundt pans are in only one piece. An old fashioned gelatin mold has two parts so you can remove the center and then the outside. My mothers is made of Tupperware but the really old ones my grandmother used were metal.
The pan you have is made for angel food cake ... a bundt cake pan does not come apart...
