What is a ciambella? A ciambella is an Italian ring-shaped cake that is typically made with baking powder, eggs, sugar, butter, and flour. It can also include raisins, nuts, or citrus zest. The cake is usually baked in a bundt pan and served with a dusting of confectioners' sugar.
Expert tips for making Ciambella – When you are combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix them together just until combined and don’t overmix. – For an extra lemony flavor, add some freshly-squeezed lemon juice to the batter. – Sprinkle some sugar crystals on top to give it a crunchy texture after baking. – Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving it.
