Traditional Ciambella Romagnola Recipe

Ciambella Romagnola is a homemade rustic cake with an unexpected shape and texture. In fact the special feature of this cake is precisely its shape. Although the Ciambella Romagnola is not circular with a hole in the center, it's still called "Ciambella."Another peculiarity is its texture. Unlike the classic soft bundt cake, the Ciambella Romagnola is an almost crispy cake on the outside and firm on the inside. Cut into slices, in fact, it's delicious when dipped. The Ciambella Romagnola resembles a loaf of bread or a large cookie.

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a double boiler and set aside to cool.
  2. Grate the zest from 1 lemon and set aside as well.
  3. Bring together the sugar and eggs in a bowl. Work them with a hand whisk to make a puffy, foamy mixture.
  4. Add the cooled melted butter and whisk again. Flavor with the lemon zest. Finally add the aromatic liqueur (we chose Limoncello). Mix all the ingredients well with the whisk.
  5. In another bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Then gradually add them to the egg and butter mixture. While adding the flour, sift it and mix with a spatula until all of it is incorporated.
  6. Once you have a soft but moldable dough, transfer it to a lightly floured pastry board. Shape it into a sort of elongated loaf.
  7. Arrange the loaf on a baking pan lined with baking paper. Brush it with milk and sprinkle it with Granella di Zucchero and a little granulated sugar.
  8. Bake in a preheated ventilated oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 40 minutes, turning the pan halfway through baking. The cake is ready when golden brown and dry.
  9. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before slicing and serving your Ciambella Romagnola!
