If you want to bake a cinnamon Cake that is as light and fluffy as a sponge follow this recipe and you will be in for a real treat! And check here for another great cinnamon recipe and to find out Why Cinnamon is so good for you.
Cinnamon Cake Recipe
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup shortening
- 1 1/3 cups white sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 eggs
- 2/3 cup milk
Mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
Cream the sugar and butter till light and fluffy in a separate bowl, and then add the flour mix .Add milk vanilla and eggs, one at a time, beating very well after each addition.
Pour into prepared kugelhof tin, ring or small loaf pans, or both, ( it makes a large mix and could well make a standard cake and 2 small loaf tins, 1200 x500mm)
NB – the cake is light and will take longer to cook in the centre, hence my use of the ring cake tin!
Bake 180 degrees for 40 – 45 minutes (25 mins for small loaf pans)
Lay out to cool and decorate with icing of your choice, or cinnamon sugar and melted butter
*NB. Tip: Be careful turning out as it is so light, it can easily break. After cooling for 10 minutes on a wire rack, I invert a plate on the top of the cooked cake whilst it is still in the tin, then flip over and carefully lift off the kugelhof tin.
Good luck and Enjoy the taste and texture whilst pondering the problems of the world

Cinnamon in tea sounds wonderful. I will have to try it too! Thanks for that tip! I do believe cinnamon helps develop one’s immunity. At the moment I am giving it to my son in a smoothie as he has had a run of colds and illnesses.
