Today’s recipe is a favorite, Cinnamon Tea Cake – we LOVE cinnamon ^_^
Very pleased with the results since it came out very moist and delicious.
Of course it’s baked with an energy saving charcoal oven from Cookswell and the results are the same as if baked from an electric or gas oven, possibly even better (we’re biased ^_^) – for anyone out there who doubts that a charcoal oven can bake amazing cakes.
Here’s the recipe:

7. Bake the cake for 45 to 60 minutes or until brown on top and a clean skewer or knife inserted should come out clean.
8. Remove your cake from oven and cool in the pan for 10 to 20 minutes. Then remove the cake from pan and place on a cooling rack or tray to complete cooling. In a small bowl; mix the sugar and cinnamon for the topping.
9. Right after you remove the cake from pan. Brush the melted butter or margarine with a pastry brush on top of the cake and then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top of the cake – while still warm.
