This is my sons favourite cake for his lunchbox. It's also a great cake to take along to morning teas.
Ingredients:
150g sugar
60g butter
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
150g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
80 ml milk
Topping
Melted butter
Tsp cinnamon
Tbs caster sugar
Method:
Preheat oven to 180C.
Add sugar to the TMX bowl and if needed grind it to caster sugar.
Insert the butterfly. Add butter, egg and vanilla extract and cream for 5 mins / speed 4.
Add flour, baking powder and milk and mix for 10-15 secs / speed 5 (speed 4 if the butterfly is still in place) until it is all just combined (do not over mix).
Pour into a greased and lined round cake tin.
Bake for 30 mins.
Remove from oven and allow to cool in tin for about 5 mins. Turn out onto cake rack. Brush the top of the cake with melted butter and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar.

dede - instead of a round tin I put it into a loaf tin to get a bit higher cake. I think the recipe could be doubled to fill a round cake tin nicely. Smells great and the uncooked mixture tasted great. Thanks Tasty for the recipe.
Wonder - Made this in a loaf tin.I was a little worried because it didn't seem to rise that much but the texture was the best of any cake I've made in the TMX, it was very light and fluffy. Only a relatively small cake and after one piece ended up on the floor (accidently) and the kids had two pieces each it was all gone before it even had time to cool. I was worried about beating the sugar, butter and egg for 5 mins so stopped at about 4 and it was perfect.

I really like tea cake. Live the cinnamon flavor ontop. Yum.
Will give this a go next time I make a cake. Thanks Snappy. :)
-
Thanks Snappy, I think that little miss fusspot may like this (she really isn't a sweet girl and sometimes likes to have a cake or biscuit but doesn't like any of them - go figure!!)
-
Gosh, I haven't made one of these for heaps of years - I think it was the only cake I could make when I couldn't cook very well.
Thanks Snappy.
-
I hadn't made one for a long time either but I loved them when I was younger. I had to go back to mum's old handwritten recipe book to get the recipe for it. You never see them around anymore but they are so simple and lovely.

Made this today, but instead of a round tin I put it into a loaf tin to get a bit higher cake. I think the recipe could be doubled to fill a round cake tin nicely. Smells great and the uncooked mixture tasted great :)
Thanks Tasty for the recipe.
-
This evokes some memories. I'll have to make one.
-
The tea cake got the thumbs up from the family :)
I might have to try some tomorrow for morning tea (or breakfast ;D)
-
This also reminds me of a cake my Mum used to make. Do you think it would stand up to adding apple slices on top?
-
I don't know if it would Kezza as the mixture isn't that thick. But there is a apple tea cake recipe on the forum somewhere

Easy apple tea cake
-
Dede I'm glad the family liked it. It's such a great old fashioned cake! I'm going to try it your way in the loaf pan next time.
-
Really liked this it brought back lots of lovely memory's :D
-
We used to make a packet cake as kids that was the same as this and eat it all while it was hot. Will have to try it on the weekend when we are all home.
-
Thanks dede :)
-
Thanks Snappy. Made this last night in a loaf tin for supper. I was a little worried because it didn't seem to rise that much but the texture was the best of any cake I've made in the TMX, it was very light and fluffy. Only a relatively small cake and after one piece ended up on the floor (accidently) and the kids had two pieces each it was all gone before it even had time to cool. I was worried about beating the sugar, butter and egg for 5 mins so stopped at about 4 and it was perfect.
-
Thanks wonder. It is only a small cake so I have to make it often because it gets eaten so quickly. It is the long beating of the butter eggs and sugar that makes it so light I think
-
Thanks Snappy. I'll stick with the longer mixing time for future.
-
Bump :)
-
Thanks for the bump. I still love this cake and it is eaten within a day at our place, an absolute family favourite! It's pretty quick and easy, I can normally whip it up whilst cooking dinner, put it in the oven when we are eating and it's ready for dessert.
-
Reminds me of my Gran's cake which was nickname by my cousin as the "dirt cake" because of the topping ... Always was a great one
-
I made this for a morning tea for my husband's work. Fortunately he overcame red and brought it back to my work to devour. Delicious.
-
I made this as a quick afternoon tea today and it was all gone within 5 minutes of it coming out of the oven. I didn't have any eggs so replaced the egg with 3 tablespoons of pureed apple.
-
It tastes best just out of the oven Wonder 😀😀😀
-
Thanks Snappy - I'm a new TMX user & thought this recipe sounded very much like my grandmother's recipe which was always a favourite, except that I needed to get out the old electric beater - "separate one egg & beat the white until light & fluffy. . ." then continue. Followed your recipe exactly & baked in my usual 7-inch (18-cms) round pan. Perfect! Looks just the same. Sure it will taste great for our dessert tonight & will be made many more times.
-
This is a favourite quick cake in our place. We aren't big cake eaters but this one goes every time while still warm.
-
Looks lovely Helen, i must try this one. :D
-
Welcome to the forum with your first posting Helen.
-
Welcome to the forum Helen.Nice cake. ;D
-
Welcome Helen. Thank you for showing us your cake. I hope we see lots more of your thermomix cooking.

I made this today using a 20cm plain ring tin. I sprayed the tin but didn't line it and it came out unstuck. The tin was the perfect size for this to cut into 2cm thick slices to have with a cuppa.
Next time I will still use the 150g of sugar and after milling, will remove 1 tbs for the topping. I only realised after making the cake that I needed caster sugar for the topping and didn't have any. Not wanting to mill any just for this, I ended up just using raw sugar which worked well anyway. :D
I also only mixed for 15 secs/speed 4 for the last bit, didn't want to go over speed 4 with the butterfly. :)
Such a lovely cake, I had to stop myself for going back for another piece. ;D

Thanks Julie, I've added a note about using speed 4 if still using the butterfly at that point.
-
My mouth is watering.
-
Thanks Cookie. It tastes like cinnamon donuts, really nice. :D
-
A super looking cake Julie.I must make this soon ;D
-
Great cake Julie.
-
It looks so nice ladies I had to be a copy cat.

Very nice Cookie.
-
It's a great idea. Easier to cut too.
-
DD took most of this to work today. She said it was well liked.
-
I'm so pleased to see this cake is getting a work out. It's so delicious but I love it because it is such an unfussy cake and goes so well with a cup of tea or coffee.
-
I made this today for visitors, it's always a winner and so quick to make. I reduced the sugar to 80g and it was fine.
-
I chose this mixture today to try as cupcakes in the air fryer as the quantity wasn’t too much for what I wanted. Never have been a good cake maker but with doing very little cooking over the past 6 years, although they look horrible I was pleased with how they taste. I cooked them for 14 minutes on a rack in the air fryer, it made 8 cupcakes. As they are only for me and it was only an experiment, it doesn’t matter how they look.
-
They look good, Judy. I may well give these a go sometime while we still have the builders here.
-
You’re too kind Marina, they look terrible LOL, but I did eat 2 whilst still warm and the taste was good.
-
I’m imagining the taste Judy. It would have been lovely. It’s a good idea to use the AF. We use ours a lot.
