The Dad’s ring cake will always be an extraordinary dessert, at least in my house.
There are recipes you don’t find in glossy books, but among the yellowed pages of worn-out sheets, with flour stains and handwritten notes. Dad’s ring cake is one of those: simple, authentic, with the scent of slow Sundays and shared breakfasts. It’s a recipe that tastes like home, of big hands kneading with care, of smiles around the table. Found in a very old recipe book, this cake is a little family treasure, made of common ingredients, but with a flavor that tells stories. Each slice is a dive into memory, a warm hug that never goes out of style. If you’re looking for breakfast desserts, try the yogurt ring cake, the ricotta ring cake, the chocolate cake without butter, milk, and eggs or the hot milk cake.

Making Dad’s Ring Cake
Beat the eggs with the sugar until they are pale and very frothy. Add the sifted flour with the baking powder, alternating with the milk and the melted, cooled butter.
Mix very well and finish with the grated lemon zest (or a teaspoon of vanilla extract) and the salt. Work the mixture until smooth, adding a little milk if too firm.
Pour into a greased ring cake pan and bake in a static oven at 350°F for about 40 minutes, testing with a toothpick. Let cool before removing from the pan and serve with powdered sugar.
