Make your own Ciambellone a deliciously light Italian cake

Simple Recipes / Mark Beahm

I love staying with friends when I travel. It gives me a better sense of what everyday life is really like. While I was in college I befriended a woman from the suburbs of Turin Italy. She invited a few of us to visit her and stay with her family. When we arrived her mother had made a beautifully simple cake and served it as a welcome treat.

The giant ring cake was velvety and buttery and lightly scented with lemon. It was served with just a dusting of icing sugar and that was all it needed. Every morning before we left we had a slice of ciambellone for breakfast with a caffè latte. I also like it as an afternoon snack with hot coffee or an iced espresso. It was just as soft and velvety on the last day of our trip as the first.
