Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Beat in the vanilla extract and egg until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour and cinnamon.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix until the batter is smooth and all ingredients are well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice and serve the cinnamon teacake plain, or dust it with a bit of powdered sugar for an extra touch.
By following these steps, you'll create a deliciously fragrant and moist cinnamon teacake that's perfect for any occasion. Enjoy it warm with a pat of butter or a dollop of whipped cream, and savor the comforting flavors of cinnamon in every bite. Happy baking!
