Making a soft and fluffy ciambellone, the classic Italian ring-shaped cake, may seem daunting at first, but with the right ingredients and techniques, it can be a simple and enjoyable baking project. In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through the process of creating a delicious ciambellone that will impress your family and friends.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Zest of 1 lemon

Step 1: Preparing the Batter

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vegetable oil, milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until well combined.

Step 2: Adding the Dry Ingredients

Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into the wet mixture. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Take care not to overmix, as this can result in a denser ciambellone.

Step 3: Preparing the Pan

Grease a ciambellone pan with butter or cooking spray, ensuring that every nook and cranny is coated. This will help the cake release easily once it’s baked.

Step 4: Baking the Ciambellone

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the ciambellone for approximately 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 5: Cooling and Serving

Once baked, remove the ciambellone from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Gently flip the pan over onto a cooling rack to release the cake. Allow it to cool completely before serving.

Optional: Adding a Dusting of Powdered Sugar

If desired, you can enhance the presentation of your ciambellone by dusting it with powdered sugar. Simply sift a generous amount of powdered sugar over the cooled cake before serving.

Now that you have mastered the art of making a soft and fluffy ciambellone, it’s time to indulge in a slice of this delectable Italian treat. Share it with loved ones or enjoy it with a cup of coffee for the perfect afternoon snack. Buon appetito!
