Cinnamon Tea Cake image

This is an old family favourite. I love it because it's quick and easy to whip up and it can be eaten warm - so you don't even have to wait for it to cool - perfect for unexpected guests! It only makes a fairly small cake - but quite enough for morning or afternoon tea - and it's nicer eaten fresh and warm from the oven. This recipe is from my Bible of cooking, Margaret Fulton's Encyclopedia of Food and Cookery.

Time 40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 egg, preferably at room temperature, separated
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup self-raising flour, sifted
30 g butter, melted
30 g butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180C (fan-forced) or 190C standard.
  • Grease an 18cm (7") shallow cake tin OR a similar sized ring (bundt) tin - I prefer the latter.
  • Add a very small pinch of salt to the egg white and beat until stiff peaks form.
  • Add egg yolk, then gradually beat in the sugar.
  • Mix together the milk and vanilla and add a little at a time, beating continuously.
  • Using a wooden spoon (or beaters on low speed) gently stir in the flour and the melted butter.
  • Pour batter into prepared cake tin.
  • Place on the centre shelf of the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked.
  • Remove from oven and invert cake onto a plate.
  • Using a pastry brush, gently paint all over with melted butter.
  • Mix together sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over cake.
  • Serve warm or cold.
