Cinnamon Tea Cake - Women's Weekly image

Traditionally served with butter, meant to be eaten when freshly made. Does not keep well. BUT if you don't eat it straight from the oven I'd be surprised!

CINNAMON TEA CAKE

This is an old family favourite. I love it because it's quick and easy to whip up and it can be eaten warm - so you don't even have to wait for it to cool - perfect for unexpected guests! It only makes a fairly small cake - but quite enough for morning or afternoon tea - and it's nicer eaten fresh and warm from the oven. This recipe is from my Bible of cooking, Margaret Fulton's Encyclopedia of Food and Cookery.
