Ingredients:

2/3 cup butter
150g
1.50 cups sugar
300g
3/4 cup milk (1% fat)
180g
3 eggs
150g
2 tsp vanilla extract
8g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
4 cups self-raising flour
600g
1/3 cup vanilla extract
50g

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a mini muffin tin with paper liners.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Add Wet Ingredients: Gradually add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon until fully incorporated.
4. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Alternately add the self-raising flour and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix each addition just until combined to ensure a tender tea cake texture.
5. Portion the Batter: Using a spoon or small scoop, fill each cavity of the prepared mini muffin tin about 2/3 full with the batter to allow room for rising.
6. Bake: Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cake comes out clean.
7. Cool: Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Serve and Enjoy: Your mini cinnamon tea cakes are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them with a cup of tea or coffee for a delightful treat.
Note: This recipe makes approximately 48 mini tea cakes, depending on the size of your mini muffin tin. Adjust baking time slightly if using a different size of tin.

Tips:

- Ensure that your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.

- Add the eggs one at a time to ensure the batter remains smooth.

- Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added to avoid dense cakes.

- Use an ice cream scoop to evenly portion the batter into the muffin tins for uniform cakes.

- You can add a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top before baking for an extra burst of flavor.

- Allow the cakes to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

With just a few simple steps and ingredients, you now have a batch of delicious Mini Cinnamon Tea Cakes ready to serve. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven or store them for a quick and tasty treat later. Happy baking!
