Steps:
- Preheat the oven to gas mark 6 (200 degrees Celcius) and line a cake tin with cupcake cases.
- Cream the margarine and sugar together in a large mixing bowl until soft and fluffy. This should not take long if you are using soft margarine.
- Sieve in the flour and add in the eggs. Mix the ingredients together until everything is well combined and smooth.
- At this point you can add the cinnamon. Add the desired amount of cinnamon one teaspoon at a time, mixing until you are satisfied with the colour of the mixture. About 1-2 teaspoons gives you the result in the photo.
- Add in the raisins or dried fruit and briefly mix to incorporate.
- Using two tablespoons, spoon one tablespoon of the mixture into each cupcake case. Divide the mixture equally between all cases, scraping clean each spoon.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. These cakes taste light and fluffy hot and denser when cool.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
- Toasted pecans or chopped walnuts can be added to the batter for an extra crunch.
- For a cream cheese frosting, beat together 4 ounces of cream cheese, 1/4 cup of butter, and 2 cups of powdered sugar until smooth.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon cakes with powdered sugar before serving for a finishing touch.
- For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free flour blend.
