Sometimes simple can be the best. This certainly is a simple cake but its flavour is delicate and homely. Definitely, this cake is great for those (comme moi) who don't like over the top cakes! It developed a delicious, slight crust around the edges of the cake, which really soaked up the cinnamon and sugar topping...Ingredients
60g butter, softened
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2/3 cup caster sugar
1 egg
1 cup of self-raising flour
1/3 cup milk
10g butter melted, extra
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp caster sugar, extra
Method
Preheat the oven to 160 degrees (fan-forced) and line a round cake tin. Beat butter, sugar, extract, egg and cinnamon together until light and fluffy. Stir in the sifted flour and milk. Stir with a spoon until combined. Spread mixture into pan; bake for around 25-30 minutes. Stand in pan for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, combine in a bowl the melted butter, cinnamon and sugar. Turn the cake out of tin and brush the cake and sides with the melted butter mixture. Serve with whipped cream or plain...or with custard for a truly delicious (but "healthier") dessert.

This cake sounds and looks lovely, especially along-side a cuppa.

It's a simply cake but, it sounds really delicious. I love cinnamon in the desserts. It reminds me the comforting desserts my grandmother...
