The cream ring cake is so fluffy it melts in your mouth! It’s ideal for a sweet breakfast or for our children’s snack. It’s without butter and oil, I hadn’t made new desserts for a while, and today I’m starting again in a big way by writing you this delicious recipe. As breakfast desserts, I also recommend the Soft Ring Cake with Jam and the Limoncello Ring Cake which are equally delicious and extra soft. Now I leave you to the recipe, a kiss, Chicca!

How to make the cream ring cake
In a bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar and grated lemon zest.
Whip the mixture until it becomes nice and frothy, which will take about 5 minutes.
Then pour in the cream slowly, preferably at room temperature.
At this point, incorporate the sifted flour and baking powder, mix without deflating the mixture with a spatula, stirring from the bottom up, be careful not to create lumps.
Pour the mixture into a greased and floured 9.5-inch ring mold. Bake your cream ring cake for 40-45 minutes at 356°F in a static oven.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before dusting with plenty of powdered sugar and slicing.
Storage and Tips for the Cream Ring Cake
The cream ring cake can be stored under a cake dome for up to 3-4 days. Alternatively, it can be frozen in single portions. For those with a sweet tooth, once the ring cake is baked, you can cut it in half and fill it with jam or preserves.
