Trivia

The Ciambellone is a very traditional cake in Italy, often with recipes handed down from generation to generation with small personal variations. The use of yogurt makes the batter particularly soft and moist, and the addition of jam creates a delightful contrast of flavors. You can vary each time by choosing different jams to obtain always new and surprising Ciambellone cakes!

Remember to check the doneness of the Ciambellone towards the end of the recommended time, as each oven has different powers and might require a few minutes more or less. Enjoy your meal!
