bake: cinnamon tea cake & rock buns


lovely saturday afternoon spent at my cousin's house baking lovelies and singing along to english oldies (:


the recipe for cinnamon tea cake


and rock buns


mixture for rock buns


mixed to hard dough


ready to be put into the oven


baked and unbaked




perfect for afternoon tea (:




part 2: cinnamon tea cake


we were um, rather adventurous with the choice of cake tin


so it kinda turned out looking like a huge doughnut


but both turned out rather yummy, so i'm glad (: and we had fun. the cinnamon tea cake was "good" (so says the family---we baked for a gathering), if you like the dense kind of cake. i.e. like a pound cake, and not sponge cake (which is light and fluffy) but i'm guessing it's supposed to be like that? yeah. and the rock buns turned out good too. we cut down on the sugar, so they weren't too sweet, and replaced ground ginger with cinnamon (i think nothing can go wrong with cinnamon haha)
