Ingredients
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 180 grams Granulated sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 120 milliliters Whole milk
- 100 milliliters Sunflower oil (or mild vegetable oil)
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 lemon Lemon zest
- 10 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 22-24 cm (9-inch) bundt or ring cake pan with oil and lightly dust with flour. Tap out any excess flour.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs and granulated sugar. Use a hand mixer or whisk to beat them together until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pale in color (about 3-4 minutes).
Step 3
Stir in the milk, sunflower oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Step 4
Add the lemon zest and a pinch of salt for a burst of fresh flavor.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula or mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for a decorative touch before serving.
Step 10
Slice and enjoy your Ciambella Della Nonna with a cup of coffee or tea for a classic Italian breakfast experience!
