When talking about ring cakes, it immediately makes my mouth water.
We can make them in different ways and as our imagination suggests.
With chocolate, dried fruits, jam, creams, the final result is always the goodness of a genuine, homemade, and convivial dessert.
I love baking cakes because after a good meal with company, whether it’s our family or friends, ending on a sweet note remains one of the most anticipated moments at the end of a meal.

Ingredients
Let’s see the ingredients we need to make it.
- 3 eggs (preferably at room temperature)
- 2.8 oz granulated sugar (if you prefer to increase the sweetness you can add up to a maximum of 4.2 oz)
- 0.44 cup vegetable oil
- 1.1 cup partially skimmed milk (whole milk is also fine)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.9 oz unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 packet baking powder
- 1 orange zest (grated, about half an orange, just a hint)
- as needed sliced almonds (to coat the cake)
Tools
- 2 Bowls
- 1 Bundt Cake Pan 8.7/9 inches
- 1 Fork
- 1 Sieve
Steps
Take a bowl and pour in the eggs along with the sugar.
Beat the mixture until it becomes nice and frothy.
Add the oil and the milk slowly and start mixing again.
Grate about half the zest of an edible orange, not more, because the orange flavor should remain a hint.
Start incorporating the sifted flour with the baking powder.
The movements now should be gentle from bottom to top.
The mixture should be nice and creamy.
Take half of the mixture and transfer it to another bowl, to which you will add 0.9 oz of cocoa.
Now, in one bowl, we will have a light batter and in the other a dark one.
Now it’s the most fun moment.
Butter and flour the pan.
With the two batters, you can have fun pouring and mixing them into the pan as you see fit.
I assembled the batter colors like this: a base of light, (half of the total light), then I poured all the dark and sealed again with the remaining light.
To finish, I put the sliced almonds on top by feel.
You mix the batters as you like, the beauty will be when you cut the cake, when you discover how the colors of the two batters have mixed.
The ring cake will bake in a 8.7/9 inch pan at most, so it can become nice and tall.
Bake in static oven mode, 356°F for about 40 minutes.
I always do the toothpick test before turning it off.
Remove from oven, let cool and enjoy.
