Here are the simple steps with our fluffy and fragrant orange donut recipe.

Preparation

1

To prepare the Orange Ciambellone, start by shelling the eggs into a large bowl and start beating them with an electric whisk at low speed. Add the sugar and continue whisking while increasing the speed to maximum. Whip until the mixture is light and fluffy.

2

Continue to whip with the electric mixer, lowering the speed to minimum, and add the oil slowly. Once it is fully incorporated, add the flour and potato starch a little at a time, alternating them with the addition of the orange juice.

3

Finally add the yeast and the grated zest of an orange. Mix all the ingredients well and pour into the previously oiled and floured donut mold. Bake the Ciambellone in a preheated static oven at 180 ° C for 50 minutes, checking the cooking with a wooden stick.

Once cooked, take the donut out of the oven, let it cool and then remove it from the mold. Finally, sprinkle it with icing sugar and serve it.
