Let’s get started. We have included options using egg and what you can use to make the cake without eggs.

Ingredients

150g cubed Butter at room temperature
3/4 Cup Castor Sugar
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
2 Eggs
1 1/2 Cup (185g) self raising Flour *
2 Tsp ground Cinnamon
1/2 Cup (125ml) Milk

For frosting

1 Tbsp Castor Sugar
1 Tsp Cinnamon Powder
1 Tbsp melted Butter

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease your baking dish.
Beat the butter, sugar & vanilla extract together until pale and creamy.
Add eggs one at time. (Beat the egg separately in a bowl before adding)
Sift the flour and cinnamon powder together.
Fold in the flour and milk alternately.
Bake at 180° C for approximately 30 minutes and keep checking after that. The temperature of every oven differs so keep checking once you cross this mark.
Put the cake out on a rack to cool.
Once it has cooled, brush the cake with the sugar-butter frosting.

Note:

For self-raising flour – To 1 cup flour add 2 Tsp baking powder
Eggs can be replaced with 2-3 Tbsp of curd (the watery part included)
Whatever ingredient you use please allow it to come to room temperature. It will affect the texture of the cake.
