Ciambella All’Arancia
(Italian Orange-Anise Cake)
Heat oven to 350 F. Coat a 12-cup bundt cake pan with baking spray—or butter and flour it. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk: 2 1/4 cups flour, 1/2 cup almond flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup white sugar, 1 tablespoon orange zest, 2 teaspoons coarsely ground anise seed. To the large bowl, add 3 large eggs and whisk 30 seconds. Whisk in 3/4 cup each of olive oil, milk, and Sambuca liquer. Next, whisk the dry ingredients in the wet. One combined, pour into the prepared bundt pan. Bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Be careful not to over bake. Cool for 15 minutes before removing from pan. Drizzle with honey. Serve and enjoy.
