Ingredients:

1 tbsp butter
16g
1 tbsp sugar
16g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
2 eggs
100g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1/4 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
30g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Beat them together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add Vanilla and Eggs: Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix well. Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
4. Combine Flours and Cinnamon: In a separate bowl, sift together 1 cup of self-raising flour, 1/4 cup of all-purpose white wheat flour, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
5. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing lightly after each addition. Be careful not to overmix; just combine until smooth.
6. Pour Into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake: Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, you can dust the top lightly with extra cinnamon or powdered sugar if desired.
9. Enjoy: Slice and serve your delicious cinnamon tea cake with a cup of tea or coffee.

Tips:

- Ensure that butter is softened at room temperature before mixing to achieve a smooth batter.

- Sift the flours to aerate them and avoid lumps in your batter, which will result in a lighter cake.

- Mix the cinnamon into the flour before combining with the wet ingredients to ensure even distribution of the spice.

- Do not overmix the batter after adding the flour; this will help keep the cake light and fluffy.

- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached, the cake is ready.

Enjoy your homemade cinnamon tea cake with a cup of tea or coffee. The subtle hint of cinnamon combined with the light and fluffy texture makes this cake a crowd-pleaser. Don't forget to store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep it fresh for several days.
