Cinnamon Tea Cake

Ingredients (serves 8)

  • 180g cubed butter, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup caster sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups (185g) self-raising flour
  • 1/4 cup (40g) plain flour
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (125ml) milk
  • 1 tbs caster sugar, extra
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbs melted butter



    Method

    1. Preheat oven to 170°C. Grease and line a 20cm-round cake pan with baking paper. Beat butter, sugar and vanilla together until pale and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
    2. Sift flours and cinnamon together. Fold in alternately with milk in 2 batches. Spoon into pan and smooth surface. Bake for 1 hour or until skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
    3. Cool in pan for 15 minutes. Carefully turn out onto a wire rack. Mix extra sugar, cinnamon and melted butter together. Pour over cake and set aside to cool. Serve.

    1. I improvised this recipe a little bit. I added some walnut and raisins in the mixture to get more flavour from the cake. It turned out good.
