Tea and Cinnamon Cake



Today, my dears, we whipped up a Tea and Cinnamon cake. The recipe is as easy as pie (we will get to those later on ...) and it took only a couple a minutes to make the batter and then shove it in the oven to bake. We made this beauty for a high tea party, (you will hear of these often as we hold one almost every week.) we spread a white table cloth over our table and set it with our finest china and a vase of freshly picked flowers.
 Once the buzzer on our oven screamed to let us know that the cake was cooked we all gathered around the table with our poetry books and glasses of lemonade. Then, as the afternoon sun flooded through our windows we all sipped on our lemonade, nibbled the cake and took turns reciting our poetry. The day resulted in the decision that cooking tastes a whole lot better when you have someone to share it with! Happy baking!  


And "Wola," there you have it - one delicious Tea and Cinnamon cake ready to be tossed onto a cake stand and served up for high tea or for desert. Bon appetite!
    
P.S This recipe was found in Gran's Kitchen - a cook book written by Dulcie May Booker and her granddaughter Natalie Oldfield. Hope you enjoy!
