I have never ever left a comment or review of an online recipe in my life, but i was compelled to in this instance because THIS CINNAMON TEACAKE RECIPE IS INCREDIBLE!!!!! Seriously - thank you so much Barb for your creative inspiration - i usually share my baking with friends and family and anyone who will partake, but this one was so gobsmacking that i ate the entire cake myself ha ha!! You can also substitute maple syrup in, and add ginger powder for extra spice. Absolutely divine THANK YOU!

What size aware cake tin should I use ?
Barb says
Hi Debby!
I used a 9in cake tin... but you could use a different size and just adjust the time to cook it. A bigger cake tin would make a more shallow cake and cook quicker whereas a smaller tin would make a deeper cake and take a little longer. Just remember to do the toothpick test to know when it is ready.
Enjoy!! 🙂
