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.
Why you will love this recipe:
- Made with pantry staples - you will need just six basic ingredients to put this delicious cake together.
- Perfect for any occasion - from a yummy lunchbox snack to a special afternoon tea treat, this Cinnamon Cake has you covered!
- Versatile - this cake can be baked in a variety of cake tins. I love to make it in a bundt tin but it can also be baked in a round or loaf cake tin.
- Freezer friendly - store in the freezer for up to two months.
Ingredients
Please note you will find the full list of ingredients in the recipe card below.
- Butter - we use unsalted butter for this recipe. It is important to ensure your butter is at room temperature before starting this recipe.
- Caster Sugar - also known as superfine sugar.
- Eggs - 70 gram eggs were used for this recipe.
- Self-Raising Flour - you can use plain flour with 2 teaspoons of baking powder added.
- Cinnamon
- Milk - either full cream or skim milk can be used.
HOW TO MAKE A CINNAMON CAKE IN A THERMOMIX:
Step 1. Combine the butter and sugar until pale and creamy.
Step 2. Add the remaining ingredients and combine.
Step 3. Transfer the cake batter to a greased cake tin. Gently smooth the surface.
Step 4. Bake until golden and cooked through when tested with a skewer.
RECIPE HINTS AND TIPS
- It is important to use butter which has been slightly softened when making this cake. If the butter is too firm it will take longer to incorporate with the caster sugar.
- The cake pictured was baked in a 22cm bundt tin. Please note you can also use a 22cm round tin or a large loaf pan to make this Cinnamon Cake. The cooking time will however vary. I suggest checking your cake after 25 minutes.
- For extra flavour, you can brush melted butter over the cake while it is still warm. Then lightly sprinkle with caster sugar and cinnamon.
- Store this cake in an airtight container in a cool dry place for up to five days.
- To freeze, place in a freezer safe container (or wrap with foil) and store for up to two months.
Along with giving your cake flavour, the addition of cinnamon will also colour the cake.
The combining of the butter and sugar is what helps to give cakes such as this Cinnamon Cake its light and fluffy texture.

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! 😅
