Classic Ciambella Cake

This classic Italian cake was, in the course of time, personalized, taking on different names and different characteristics according to the recipes with which it was prepared. Each Ciambella that is made can be consumed in different ways: as a sweet treat dipped in milk or wine, or as a dessert after lunch or dinner.

This recipe comes from my new cookbook, The Rustic Italian Bakery. The book features classic Italian sweet recipes that are perfect for the home cook looking to embark on a culinary adventure. You can find a copy here.
