Make A Deliciously Moist Italian Cake - Ciambella

Ciambella is a wonderfully moist Italian cake that’s traditionally eaten for breakfast. Incredibly simple and easy to make, it is light and fluffy. It is perfect with a cappuccino in the morning!

Ciambella (Italian pronunciation: [tʃamˈbɛlla]; plural, ciambelle) is an Italian ring-shaped cake with regional varieties in ingredients and preparation. As an example, a basic version of the cake could be prepared using flour, baking powder, salt, eggs, milk (or cream), sugar, oil and vanilla flavouring. Honey is sometimes added as a sweetener. To create the light texture the sugar and eggs are whisked together, and oil and milk are added while whisking continuously until the mixture is frothy. Then sifted baking powder and flour are added to the dry ingredients and the cake is baked in a ring-shaped pan.
