  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 12 mini cakes

Ingredients

– 150 grams all-purpose flour for base structure

– 100 grams granulated sugar for sweetness and caramelization

– 50 grams unsalted butter, softened for moist and tender crumb

– 1 large egg for binding and richness

– 120 ml milk for smooth batter and moisture

– 1 teaspoon baking powder for rising

– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for warm spicy flavor

– 1 tablespoon cinnamon-sugar mixture for crunchy topping

Instructions

1-First Step: Gather all your ingredients and preheat your oven to 175 degrees Celsius. This helps everything come together smoothly and ensures the oven is ready when you are.

2-Second Step: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the 50 grams softened butter and 100 grams granulated sugar until light and fluffy, which takes about 2-3 minutes with a hand mixer.

3-Third Step: Add the 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon to the bowl, then mix well until fully combined, creating a smooth batter base.

4-Fourth Step: Gradually stir in the 150 grams all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder, alternating with 120 ml milk to avoid lumps, and mix until the batter is even.

5-Fifth Step: Pour the batter into a greased mini cake pan, sprinkle the 1 tablespoon cinnamon-sugar mixture on top, and smooth the surface for an even bake.

6-Sixth Step: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, allowing the cake to rise and set properly.

7-Final Step: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving, which helps it firm up and makes slicing easier.

Notes

๐ŸŒก๏ธ For extra soft and tender cakes, make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing, especially the butter and eggs.
๐ŸŽฏ To achieve the perfect swirl pattern on top, use a small sieve to evenly distribute the cinnamon-sugar mixture rather than sprinkling by hand.
โฐ These mini cakes can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 1 month. Reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to restore freshness.
