I know this picture doesn't look like vavavavooom but this tea cake is truly very good. (It looks a bit burned on top but it isn't, rather, it's just a patch where I got a little overzealous with the cinnamon sprinkling.)
The recipe is from Whip Up and it's a lovely simple and fast treat to make to enjoy with tea. Also, the story that accompanies the recipe at Whip Up reminds me of my own after-school rituals, when my siblings and I would cram around the table and talk and eat what I used to call hors d'ouevres -- it was actually usually just cheese and crackers. It used to make everyone laugh when I said this, which tended to make seven-year-old me a bit ridiculously huffy (who are these animals that can't appreciate a good plate of hors d'ouvres?).
But back to the tea cake. My friend Deb has made this many times and shared her wisdom that it is best baked at 350F.
I baked it in a round cake pan. When you pour the batter in, it doesn't really go very far but it does expand nicely and fill the pan when baking.
Happy Thursday evening friends :)
