It's been a while since I did some baking. I have been a bit of a cripple and not able to walk on my foot for about a week, also trying not to eat so much stuff that makes my bum bigger. But that doesn't mean I can't bake for others and still and have a little taste myself.
I bought a couple of new cookbooks on the weekend and this recipe looked so easy to make with all staple ingredients I always have in the pantry.
I thought it was a little weird that there was no cinnamon throughout the cake and it was just sprinkled on top but I thought I'd follow it as per the instructions and see how it turned out.
I ended up doubling the mixture as my cake tin was a little bigger than the prescribed 20cm tin. I also didn't need all the cinnamon it states to sprinkle over the top for a nice cinnamon flavour.
A really light cake, definitely perfect for an afternoon tea!
