My recipe for an easy and classic Italian cake called ciambella. In my version, I add some of my sourdough starter discard from my daily feedings. Using starter discard in this cake avoids wasting starter but also brings flavor and tenderness. This cake is flexible and can be made with lemons and limoncello, as seen in the video, or sambuca, orange, poppyseed, and more.
Happy baking!
