Instructions
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start by preparing your ingredients. Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F) and grease a bundt pan with vegetable oil. Lightly dust it with a bit of flour to ensure the cake doesn’t stick during baking. |
| 2 | In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and potato starch. This will ensure the mixture is smooth and free of lumps, providing a light and fluffy texture for your cake. |
| 3 | Add the sugar to the sifted dry ingredients. Mix them together with a spoon or whisk to combine evenly. |
| 4 | Gradually pour in the whole milk, stirring continuously with a whisk. Be sure to whisk while adding the milk to prevent any lumps from forming. Continue mixing until the batter is smooth and well combined. |
| 5 | Slowly add the vegetable oil into the mixture, continuing to whisk. This helps to incorporate the oil evenly and ensures the batter remains smooth and glossy. |
| 6 | Grate the zest of one lemon and add it to the batter for a fresh, aromatic flavor. The citrus will add a lovely zing to your cake and enhance its overall taste. |
| 7 | Next, sprinkle in the baking powder and give the batter a final good stir to combine all the ingredients. The baking powder will help the cake rise and achieve a soft, airy texture. |
| 8 | Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. |
| 9 | Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. You can also gently press on the top of the cake to check if it springs back, which is another sign of doneness. |
| 10 | Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Afterward, carefully turn the cake out onto a wire rack to cool completely. |
| 11 | Once the cake has cooled, you can optionally dust it with powdered sugar or serve it as is. It’s light, moist, and perfect for any occasion! |
This Egg-Free Bundt Cake (Ciambella Senza Uova) is a wonderful treat that’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
