I love this kind of cake recipe i.e. dump the lot into a bowl, give it a quick beat and it's ready for the oven.
Cinnamon Nutella Cake
Serves 12
Preheat oven to 180oC/350oF
6 oz/175g butter, softened
6 oz/175g golden caster sugar
8 oz/200g self-raising flour
3 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp ground cinnamon
4 Tbsp milk
4 rounded Tbsp chocolate hazelnut spread
2 oz/50g hazelnuts, roughly chopped
Butter and line an 8"/20cm round cake tin
Put the first seven ingredients in a bowl and beat until light and fluffy
Tip three quarters of the mix into the tin. spread it level, then spoon the hazelnut spread on in 4 blobs. Top with the remaining quarter of mixture and swirl a few times then smooth.
Sprinkle with the nuts. Bake for 1 hour 10 minutes until risen, nicely browned, feels firm to the touch and springs back when lightly pressed. (cover with foil if it starts to brown too quickly*)
Cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn out, peel off the paper and
cool on a wire rack.
* If you do have to use foil, if you are using a fan assisted oven, make sure that the foil is anchored around the cake tin, otherwise it will float around.
