What's mildly irritating you today?

It sounds like you had a 'tube pan' rather than a bundt pan. Tube pans were made for angelfood cakes, and the base disconnected from the rest of the pan. The idea was to put the entire thing - cake and pan - upside down on some sort of holder, let it cool completely, and then remove the middle hole and base, and then the side section.

I only know this from reading the 1950s Betty Crocker cookbook years ago, when I would run out of reading material before the next trip to the library. Later (failed) culinary experiments suggested that 1950s Betty Crocker knew whereof she spoke.
