Cinnamon tea cake

Serves:

Ingredients

  • 60g butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • half a cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup SR flour
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 15g extra butter, melted
  • 1 tblsp (preferably castor) sugar, extra
  • half a tsp ground cinnamon

Method

Grease a round cake tin and line it with greaseproof paper.

Beat the butter and vanilla together until white and creamy, add the sugar and continue beating.

Add the egg and beat a bit longer.

Add half the flour and half the milk, mix well, then beat in remainder. Don’t over beat.

Spoon the mixture into the cake tin and bake in a moderate oven for about 25 minutes or ’til golden (cake should shrink slightly from sides of pan. If you’re not sure – poke a skewer into the middle and it should come out dry).

Turn cake out onto serving plate. Brush the top immediately with the melted butter and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar.
