For many years my mother prepared this ring-shaped cake for our breakfast! My children love this super easy ciambella too. They spread some margarine and sugar over the slices and Yum... This is a souvenir in honor of my parents! Ingredients:
400 g flour (13 ounces) |
150 g margarine (5 ounces) or 150 g butter (5 ounces) |
180 g sugar (6 ounces) |
1 pinch salt |
4 eggs |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
2 tablespoons liqueur (we use maraschino) |
1 lemon zest or 1 orange zest |
100 ml milk (1/3 cup) |
1 -2 tablespoon sugar (additional only for topping) |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven at 220°C (425.°F).
2. Grease your mold (I use a ring-shaped one) and dust with four.
3. Work all the ingredients (reserve the sugar for topping) with the kneading machine until smooth.
4. Spread the batter in the mold.
5. Top with sugar.
6. Bake for 30 minutes at 220°C (425°F).
