Recipe type: Baking
Serves: 8
What you'll need
  • 125g butter, softened
  • ¾ cup or 160g raw or caster sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup/150g SR flour
  • 75g/1/4 cup milk
  • vanilla essence or extract
  • extra sugar for sprinkling
  • cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Place raw sugar in TM bowl and process for 10 seconds on speed 9. Or just use caster sugar in the recipe.
  2. Add butter and process for 20 seconds speed 4.
  3. Add in eggs, flour, milk and vanilla and process for 1 minute on speed 5. Scrape down the bowl once in between.
  4. **Pour mixture into a lined cake tin (not a big one, say 20cm or so) and sprinkle with a tablespoon or two of sugar then a good dusting of cinnamon.
  5. Bake in a 180C/350F oven for about 30 minutes until the centre is cooked. Watch the top doesn't burn. My oven is very old so I need to turn the cake half way to make sure it's cooked all over.
  6. Remove cake from tin and place on a cooling rack. Or slice while hot which is how I like my cake.
  7. And enjoy.
  8. This one is best eaten on the same day but heh that is never a problem in this house. And if it's a problem in yours let me hire out a few of my kids or retro daddy to finish off yours.
  9. If you don't have a thermomix then just chuck all of the ingredients (except for the extra sugar and the cinnamon) in your mixer or a bowl and combine really well for a minute or two until it's light and creamy and follow from **.
