BAKED CINNAMON SUGAR DOUGHNUT CAKES

1 cup plain flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

pinch salt ½ cup caster sugar

1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ cup milk

1 large egg, size 7 ¼ cup melted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

TO FINISH

½ cup caster sugar

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ cup melted butter

EQUIPMENT: Lightly grease a 9-hole standard muffin tin.

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan bake.

Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk the milk, egg, butter and vanilla together then pour onto the flour mixture. Gently but thoroughly stir together but don’t overbeat. Divide the batter evenly among the holes of the prepared tin and bake for about 10 minutes, or until risen and golden.

TO FINISH: Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. When cool enough to handle and working with one cake at a time, brush lightly all over with melted butter then toss in the sugar to coat on all sides. Repeat with the remaining cakes. MAKES 9 CAKES
