Recipe: Cinnamon Cake!

Enter the humble cinnamon cake, this cake is a treat for anyone, even if you don't like cinnamon the flavors and textures of this simple wonder will bring you around!

Ingredients:

• 300g of flour (use plain flour to get a thinner crunchier base or use self raising flour to make it a little thicker and spongier)
• 125g of Caster sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
• 125g of Butter
• 200ml whipping cream
• a couple of table spoons of cinnamon powder
• (Optional) thingly chopped apple or pear slices

Preparation

1. Firstly Heat your oven to 200 degrees, a little under if its a fan jobbie
2. Mix the flour, sugar and baking powder together in a cooking bowl
3. Heat the butter in a pan until the butter is melted
4. Add the butter to the flour mix and mix together well until all the butter is absorbed and the mix is in small crumbles
5. pour the crumbles into a baking pan and flatten them out into a pie type crust, make sure there is an edge atleast a centimeter high depending on the size of the pan
6. If you have fruit slices, add them now!
7. Now you have 2 options!, either:
1. Mix the ccinnamonwith the cream in a separate bowl, make sure the cinnamon is properly absorbed then pour the cinna-cream into your new crust
2. the more fun way!, Pour the cream into your new crust then sprinkle the cinnamon ontop and with a spoon swirl the cinnamon around to absorb it, this makes funky cinnamon patterns

Heating

1. Heat the cake for 10 minutes at 200 degrees then lower the temperature to 150 degrees for a further 15-20 minutes, until the pie crust is goldening
2. Leave to cool before eating as the cream will need that time to set, when the cake has cooled the cake should be set, sometimes its a bit of an art!
