How to Make Ciambella Della Nonna Italian Breakfast Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
  2. Grease and flour a 24cm (9.5 inch) bundt pan or ring mold.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the milk until the batter is smooth.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle evenly with granulated sugar.
  8. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 30 minutes.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
