Perfectly paired with a steaming cup of tea or coffee, this traditional Teisen Sinamon is a must-try for fans of spiced cakes and timeless Welsh flavors.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan)/350°F. Grease and line an 8-inch round cake tin with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes using an electric mixer.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Sift the self-raising flour and ground cinnamon into the wet mixture. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined.
Gradually add the milk, stirring until the batter is smooth and of a dropping consistency.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake is cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar mixed with ground cinnamon for a decorative and flavorful finish.
Slice and serve with tea or as a dessert. Enjoy your Teisen Sinamon!
