I am a lover of all things cinnamon and for me, this teacake
really hits the spot. It’s a very versatile recipe that you can easily add
apple or orange to, but in my mind you can’t go past the simple classic. This
cake is homely, honest and perfect for an afternoon get together with your best
girlfriends. It’s as easy as this…
What you’ll need:
60g butter
½ cup caster sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup self-raising flour
1/3 cup milk
15g butter, melted, extra
1 tablespoon caster sugar, extra
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
What to do:
Preheat oven to 180C. Grease deep 20cm round cake pan and
line base with baking paper.
Beat butter, sugar, egg and extract until light and creamy;
add sifted flour and milk. Stir until smooth.
Spread mixture into pan; bake 25minutes. Stand cake in pan
for 5minutes before turning onto wire rack. Brush top with extra butter,
sprinkle with combined extra sugar and cinnamon.
Note: To make this an apple/cinnamon or orange/cinnamon cake
simply:
- Place apple slices around the top of the mixture once it is in the tin.
- Add the zest of 1 orange with the flour and milk.
