Cinnamon Teacake

Today I made cinnamon teacakes! I'm not sure where I got the recipe from, but I've had it for ages and it's a delicious cake and really simple to make. It's pretty much just a normal, unambiguous, nothing-too-special cake...that is, until you take it out of the oven and swamp it with melted butter and cinnamon and sugar!!

Cinnamon Teacake:

Cinnamon Teacake:
Serves 8
80g. butter (at room temperature)
110g (1/2 cup) caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 egg
150g (1 cup) self raising flour
80 ml (1/3 cup) milk


Topping:
20g butter (melted)
1 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon


1. Preheat oven to 180C. Grease & line a 20 cm cake tin. 
2. Beat the butter, caster sugar and vanilla essence with an electric beater until pale and creamy. 
3. Add the egg and beat until well combined. Using a large metal spoon, stir in half the flour, then the milk, then the remaining flour.
4. Spoon mixture into tin and bake for 25 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Let sit for 5 minutes.
5. Turn the cake out onto a plate, brush it with the melted butter. Combine the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle evenly over the cake. 
Then decorate!
