230g The Healthy Baker Self Raising Flour
2 tablespoon Grounded Pleasures Cinnamon Drinking Chocolate (or cinnamon and cocoa)
125g unsalted butter, softened
155g caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
105ml milk
For the icing:
150g icing sugar
2 tablespoon Grounded Pleasures Cinnamon Drinking Chocolate
1-2 tablespoon boiling water
12 edible flowers (optional)
Pre-heat oven to 160 degrees Celsius, and line a 22x10cm loaf tin with baking paper.
In a medium bowl whisk together the self raising flour, cinnamon drinking chocolate and ground cinnamon, then set aside.
In a separate bowl, use and an electric mixer to beat the butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy.
Then beat in the eggs one at a time. Add the flour and the milk and slowly mix until combined.
Tip the mixture into the prepared tray and smooth the top.
Bake for 50 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool on a wire rack.
To make the icing, combine the dry ingredients together, then add 1 tbsp boiling water. Mix and add more water a little at a time until you have a nice thick, smooth spreadable icing. Spread over the cake and decorate with edible flowers if desired. Enjoy!
