Yesterday got away on me but today I invite you To Stay For Tea. :)
Here is a cake that you can enjoy for breakfast.
The Loaf Cake
That's what my mom named it in her recipe book.
It was always a favorite of mine because I
LOVE
cinnamon.
It is so quick.
Here's what you need...
1/4 c butter
1 c white sugar
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1 c sour milk
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
Mix 1 tsp cinnamon
and 3 tbsp brown sugar
set aside.
Mix the wet in one bowl and the dry in another
Add dry to wet
Mix together
Put 1/2 cake ingredients in loaf pan then a layer of the cinnamon sugar mix.
Then the other half of ingredients and the rest of the cinnamon sugar mix on top.
Bake 1 hr. at 350 degrees.
Now, not many of us have sour milk sitting around.
"Well, I should hope not."
"Zip it, Audrey
Here's how you make it.
Add 1/2 tsp. of vinegar to the cup of milk.
Let stand 5 minutes.
Two fresh organic eggs.
Line the loaf pan with parchment paper.
Now it's ready for the oven.
A delicious tea-time cake.
(a lovely summer treat, too)
I hope you add this to your Christmas baking.
I give them as house-warming gifts.

Here is a 'throw-back' photo.
Audrey's first Christmas.
I know, such an angel.
Enjoy your day,

ReplyDeletethe tree anyway...She's an angel...!x

And...Looking at Audrey! :).x
This sounds so easy and good and I think I will make it for our church's fellowship time this Sunday. Thanks for sharing it. And of course Audrey should be at the top of the tree -- angel that she is.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe AA was ever that small ... !!! I love cinnamon. Your Mother's tea cake sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHugs and Purrs.....
Your cake sounds wonderful. We make a traditional rum cake that I give out to neighbors each year. And I love that Christmas pic of Audrey!
ReplyDeleteNoticed your tea... London Company? Not sure I've seen that anywhere. I love peppermint tea. Have never tried Peppermint, spearmint, and strawberry. Sounds pretty good.
I remember that picture of Audrey's first Christmas! The cake looks divine and I'm pinning it to make for holiday entertaining. Does it freeze well?
ReplyDeleteIt does. I have one in the freezer now.
DeleteMy mouth is watering!
ReplyDeleteIt does sound tasty. Audrey, such an adorable scamp!
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious! I will try the recipe soon.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love Audrey. That delicious skinny little kitten neck, and she has grown into such a beauty. I am going to try the cake, we all love tea loaves, I normally make them with lots of fruit left over night in strong tea, but I also enjoy cinnamon. I love your blog too, cannot wait until the main house is built. Take care Andie xxx
ReplyDeleteOh Audrey, you do keep everyone on their toes! I love cinnamon so this sounds really good to me. I'll save he recipe and make after I finish up my banana nut bread!
ReplyDeletehugs,
Linda
I can barely make out Audrey's angel wings. They're tattered and tarnished and her halo is missing but, yep, they're there. She's still a little feline angel.
ReplyDeleteLittle Audrey and the Christmas tree, oh my, that is adorable. It's a perfect Christmas card. Wonder if I could bake a cinnamon cake that would turn out like yours. I doubt it! Deb, you put me in the Christmas spirit way back when you strung up those first few lights. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteOh Audrey, you were such a treat, and you still are. Your first Christmas has brought tears to our eyes.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Deb , for helping us get into the Christmas spirit. It's been a bad year.
Oh my...must try the tea cake...delicious...and that little minx Audrey....always brings me smiles. Have a lovely weekend dear Deb!
ReplyDeleteYour cinnamon loaf sounds and looks delicious. Had to say, I LOVE your mixing bowl that you showed in the picture. Is it a vintage one? -Jenn
ReplyDeleteHi Jenn, Yes, it is over 100 years old.
DeleteThis recipe sounds delicious! I am going to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteThere's just something about cats and Xmas trees that make for magical photos.
