Italian orange cake

Baking is simple and quick. I suggest making the Italian orange cake Ciambellone (ciambellone) today. There are actually quite a few recipes for this kind of bake; today we have one of the simplest, but no less tasty, versions—with orange juice and zest. The cake is tender, fragrant, and in a word—utterly delicious. For those who don’t have much time to bake but still want to treat their loved ones—the bake is ready. Bring it to the table.
