Ingredients:

1 tbsp butter
16g
2 tsp sugar
10g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
1 egg
50g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
3/4 cup milk (1% fat)
180g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar:
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Add Wet Ingredients:
Beat in the vanilla extract and egg until well combined.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour and cinnamon.
5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix until the batter is smooth and all ingredients are well combined.
6. Pour into Pan:
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly.
7. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
8. Cool:
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve:
Once cooled, slice and serve the cinnamon teacake plain, or dust it with a bit of powdered sugar for an extra touch.

Tips:

- Make sure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.

- Use fresh, high-quality cinnamon for the best flavor.

- To prevent the cake from sticking, grease your baking dish well or use parchment paper.

- If you'd like, add a pinch of salt to enhance the overall flavor of the teacake.

- Allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing to maintain its structure and texture.

By following these steps, you'll create a deliciously fragrant and moist cinnamon teacake that's perfect for any occasion. Enjoy it warm with a pat of butter or a dollop of whipped cream, and savor the comforting flavors of cinnamon in every bite. Happy baking!
