Tips for success when making Ciambella Italian Bundt cake

The first tip

When making this Ciambella Italian bundt cake is to beat the eggs and sugar until light. This process takes about 5 minutes.

Second

Be sure to preheat your oven before baking. Baking temperatures can vary depending on your oven check after 35 minutes for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center and if it comes clean the cake is done. It’s the old fashion way that still works.

Third the right pan is important.

If the pan is too big or too small for this recipe your  cake will either be to flat or the batter will be spilling over. A lot of you wanted to know what bundt  pan I used. Here is the link to the  decorative bundt pan I used in this recipe.
