Ingredients for the Simple Easter Ring Cake
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 2/3 cup butter
- 1 orange zest (grated)
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 package baking powder
- 1 egg white
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- as needed colored sprinkles
You will need
- Mold ring cake pan
- 1 Electric whisk
- 2 Bowls
Steps
In a bowl with electric whisks or a stand mixer, whip the eggs with the sugar until creamy. Gradually add a pinch of salt, the milk, and the melted butter and mix well. Then incorporate the flour and baking powder sifted together, and mix with a spatula with upward movements to avoid deflating the batter too much.
Pour the obtained batter into a ring cake pan and bake in a preheated static oven for 40/45 minutes at 356°F (180°C). Once cooked, remove from the oven, let it cool, extract it from the mold and place it on a dessert plate.
In a bowl, beat an egg white until stiff, adding powdered sugar; the mixture should be nice and thick. Pour it over the surface of the ring cake and sprinkle with colored sprinkles.
Happy Easter, see you soon Susy
