Have you ever wanted to create a mouthwatering Italian dessert at home? Look no further than the classic ciambellone! This indulgent cake is loved by many for its soft texture and delightful flavor. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of making your very own ciambellone right in your kitchen.

Ingredients:

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

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a ciambellone mold or bundt pan, ensuring all crevices are coated.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until all the dry ingredients are evenly incorporated.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Ensure the mixture is well combined.

4. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a dense cake.

5. Add the lemon zest to the batter and gently fold it in, distributing the zest evenly.

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

7. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should turn golden brown.

8. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Once the ciambellone has cooled, you can dust it with powdered sugar for an elegant touch. Alternatively, you can glaze it with a simple lemon glaze made from powdered sugar and lemon juice.

Tips:

  • For a more citrusy flavor, you can substitute the lemon zest with orange or lime zest.
  • Feel free to add some chocolate chips or raisins to the batter for extra texture and sweetness.
  • Ensure all the ingredients are at room temperature for optimal results.
  • Store the ciambellone in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Now that you have mastered the art of making a classic ciambellone, you can impress your family and friends with this Italian treat. Enjoy a slice alongside a cup of coffee or tea for the perfect afternoon indulgence. Buon appetito!
