Morphology

Bundt + cake

‘Bundt’ is a proper name/brand (German-derived) without an independent, compositional meaning, while ‘cake’ clearly identifies the lexical class. A B1 learner who knows both words can infer it is a type of cake, but cannot derive the distinctive ring-shaped, fluted-pan form and baking/serving specifics from the constituents alone, so the relation is only partially transparent.

Etymology

Bundt cake gets its name from an old German ring cake baked in a special round pan with a hole in the middle. People used the short name Bundt for that ring shape, so Bundt cake means 'a cake made in the ring-shaped pan'.
