Ingredients

• 115 grams Unsalted butter
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 180 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 120 milliliters Milk
• 50 grams Powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly with butter.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the tea cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once the tea cakes are cool, sift the powdered sugar over the tops and dust lightly with additional ground cinnamon.

Step 10

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
