Put a clean empty can or cup in the center of your springform pan and you've got a tube pan. If you don't want to try that, just keep an eye on the edges and cover with foil if they brown before the center is baked.

Vegemite, love your 4442, going to try it!
I usually dust cakes with powdered sugar or do the simple powdered sugar and water (or milk) frosting. Sometimes add cinnamon. I like how that frosting melts down the side of cakes too: http://instagram.com/p/aPTT_xy3x4/

Pound cake can definitely be made in a springform - that's the cake i grew up making and we never had a bundt pan.
and we'd never thought of Jaq's amazing can trick either-- brb, making so many fancy cakes.

Stupid cake is too brown on the top (not burned but def over-brown); hope it comes out of the pan OK and I serve it ass end up.

Can always gently slice the top off
