Mini Cinnamon Cakes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Brush a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) with a little butter and dust with some flour.
• Cream sugar, butter, and oil together in a bowl until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
• Sift 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl. Fold 1/3 of the flour mixture gently into the butter mixture with a spatula. Mix in 1/2 of the buttermilk. Repeat once more, then mix in remaining flour until just combined. Avoid overmixing. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Allow cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to gas mark 6 (200 degrees Celcius) and line a cake tin with cupcake cases.
• Cream the margarine and sugar together in a large mixing bowl until soft and fluffy. This should not take long if you are using soft margarine.
• Sieve in the flour and add in the eggs. Mix the ingredients together until everything is well combined and smooth.
• At this point you can add the cinnamon. Add the desired amount of cinnamon one teaspoon at a time, mixing until you are satisfied with the colour of the mixture. About 1-2 teaspoons gives you the result in the photo.
• Add in the raisins or dried fruit and briefly mix to incorporate.
• Using two tablespoons, spoon one tablespoon of the mixture into each cupcake case. Divide the mixture equally between all cases, scraping clean each spoon.
• Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. These cakes taste light and fluffy hot and denser when cool.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, then stir in the vanilla and milk. Beat in the flour mixture, just until incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. While cake is still warm, spread with butter, and sift confectioners' sugar and cinnamon over the top.
