Are you craving a scrumptious Italian treat but have no idea how to make it? Look no further! In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of making a delicious ciambella, a traditional Italian ring-shaped cake. This moist and flavorful dessert is perfect for any occasion. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a ciambella mold or a bundt cake pan to prevent sticking.

2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a separate mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. This will ensure a well-incorporated batter.

6. Pour the batter into the prepared ciambella mold or bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The ciambella should be golden brown and have a slightly cracked top.

8. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Once the ciambella has cooled, dust it with powdered sugar for an irresistible finishing touch. Slice and serve!

Congratulations! You have successfully made a delicious ciambella from scratch. Enjoy the sweet aroma and wonderful taste of this traditional Italian dessert.

Pro tip: For added flavor, you can also drizzle a simple lemon glaze over the cooled ciambella. Mix together 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice until smooth. Pour the glaze over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Let it set before serving.

So, the next time you’re in the mood for a delightful homemade dessert, give this ciambella recipe a try. It’s guaranteed to satisfy your sweet tooth and impress your family and friends!
