Is there anything better than the smell of a freshly baked cake, especially one made from cinnamon? This simple Thermomix Cinnamon Cake will fill your kitchen with the lovely aroma cinnamon while it bakes, just teasing you for what is to come when you finally try a piece!
I think this cake is best served as it is straight from the oven, however you could fancy it up a little and brush a little melted butter over the cake while it's still warm and sprinkle with some more cinnamon and sugar.
Ingredients
- 180 g of butter – at room temperature
- 155 g (¾ cup) of caster sugar
- 2 eggs
- 300 g (2 cups) of self raising flour
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 185 ml (¾ cup) of milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180 degrees and line the base and sides of a 20cm round cake tin with baking paper.
- Place the butter and caster sugar into your Thermomix bowl and mix for 20 seconds on speed 4.
- Add the self raising flour, eggs, cinnamon and milk and mix for 30 seconds on speed 5. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix for a further 30 seconds on speed 5.
- Spoon the cinnamon cake mixture into your prepared cake tin and gently smooth the surface. Place the cake into the oven and cook for 45 minutes or until cooked through when tested with a skewer.
- Carefully remove the cinnamon cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before carefully transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
As I used a bundt tin, my cake took only 25 minutes to bake. If you are using a different sized tin, your cooking time may vary. I’d suggest checking your cake at 25mins to see how it’s going.
This Thermomix Cinnamon Cake also makes the perfect afternoon tea treat and as it takes no time at all to prepare, it's a great last minute cake to put together.

Oh man , I followed the recipe for the cinnamon cake … it said cook for 45 mins . It’s a brick , on the top of the recipe it says “total cooking time 25mins”
Which cooking time is correct??
Tash says
Hi Margaret, the information directly below the recipe in the post says that the 25 minutes cooking time is for a bundt tin, which is what the cake in the recipe picture was baked in, and is why the total cooking time says 25 minutes. It is recommended to check the cake after 25 minutes if you're not using a bundt tin. The recipe instructions say to line the base and sides of a round tin, which will take longer to bake, hence the 45 minutes in the instructions.
Margaret says
Hi , I see that you recommend using a 20cm round Tim for the cinnamon cake , but say in the extra info on baking that you should use a baking tin with a hole I. The middle . Which tin works best , I don’t want the cake to be soggy in the middle .
Lucy says
Hi Margaret, if you have a tin with a hole in the middle, that's ideal. However, as most people don't have one, we also recommend using a regular round cake tin.

I’ve come looking for the cinnamon tea cake I had saved but I can’t see it and have only found this one. Is this one much different bar the sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top? The kids will die if I can’t make them their fave tea cake! 😅
