CC: Easy cinnamon cake

I got back from work and decided to make a cake.....I bought some baking ingredients last week and the milk needed using up.

You will need:

250g plain flour
150g of caster sugar ( I am not a fan of sugar so if you have a sweet tooth, use 180g)
75g of butter
2 medium eggs, lightly beaten
2 tsp of baking powder
1 tsp of ground cinnamon
200ml of milk
Extra caster sugar and cinnamon, to sprinkle

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees ( Fan - 160 degrees and Gas - 4).
Lightly grease a non-stick cake tin.






In a mixing bowl, cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy



Slowly add the eggs, beating at all times


Gradually fold in the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and milk

Pour the mixture into the prepared cake tin

Bake for 40 mins until the sides just begin to come away from the tin

Mix together about 1 tsp of the extra sugar and 1/2 tsp cinnamon, sprinkle over the cake and return to the oven for 5 mins to glaze.

Remove from the tin and cool on a wire rack.
