    2 British Blacktail Large Free Range Eggs, beaten
    125g self-raising flour

    3. Pour half the batter into the prepared tin and top with half of the cinnamon sugar then the rest of the batter. Push a knife into the tin at one end and make a single zig-zag line from one end of the tin to the other. Sprinkle with the rest of the cinnamon sugar.

Cool in the tin for 10 minutess, then remove to a wire rack. Delicious served warm or cold. This cake keeps really well – store in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
