Cinnamon teacake

Been craving for cakes quite a bit.

Solid ones.

Most importantly, simple and something that i'd not tried before.

And this, almost fits the bill.


Except that it was not solid enough for me.

It's rather spongey and light.

I wanted a heavy cake. But then, what did i expect?!

The butter required was only 60g!
Duh~

:P


Heh.

I guess i was hoping for a miracle to be honest. With only 60g butter, 2 eggs .. for a 7" cake, fat chance!

But the cake was great! That i must admit though it wasn't what i was craving for. Like i mentioned, the cake was light and moist. Almost like a sponge cake but buttery enough not to be one.

For a while, i thought the cinnamon will be folded in into the batter but nope. The cinnamon was merely something that got sprinkled on the cake on top of a layer of butter coating and together with the caster sugar.

Without sprinkling it, the cake is just a buttercake-next-door :P

Oooooo... my fav pic! I'm pretty proud y'know.. lol *thick*

See the texture of the cake?

Spongey and light aye?

With today's soaring prices of certain staples [read : butter], this cake is real good. Gentle on the pocket :)
