This is a classic tea time treat from Cornwall that uses beaten egg whites as the leavening agent.
Ingredients:
6 egg whites
225g caster sugar
225g butter, melted and cooled
220g self-raising flour, sifted
2 tbsp ground cinnamon
Method:
Add the egg whites to a clean and dry bowl. Beat until they stand in firm peaks.
Fold the sugar into the beaten egg whites, followed by the melted butter and then the sifted flour. Scatter the cinnamon over the top then fold in to colour the batter.
Turn the resultant batter into a well-buttered springform cake tin. Transfer to an oven pre-heated to 175°C and bake for about 45 minutes, or until well risen, cooked through and golden brown on top (when done, a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake will emerge cleanly).
Allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes then carefully turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
