INGREDIENTS

For the cake:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon mixed spice (combination of nutmeg, ginger, coriander, dill, cinnamon, cloves)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted in the microwave (20 seconds at a time, until completely melted)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk

For the topping:

  • 1/2 cup castor sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F).  Line a muffin pan (I use silicone liners) and set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients:  flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and mixed spice. In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together melted butter and sugar until pale in color and fluffy.

Add egg and vanilla extract, beat to combine. Add the flour mixture, and beat until just combined. Don’t overbeat.

Lastly, add the  buttermilk, and beat until just combined.

In a medium bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon for topping.

Fill the muffin liners to 2/3 full.  Sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar over the tops evenly.

Bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean.
