Cinnamon Sugar Bread
My favorite past time is to surf through the internet looking for cake recipes. I am really amazed by the innovations people come up with. It is really tempting to try all of them. However due to exigencies of my situation I am unable to get most of the materials..and I can only look longingly at those wonderful cakes.
Cinnamon is a miracle spice. It controls blood sugar and high blood pressure. It relieves stomach problems. It is anti bacterial and anti microbial. It is very common in Bengali cuisine to sprinkle a pinch of cardamom cinnamon powder along with a teaspoon of ghee to the dishes before taking them off the flame. I realize the combination is a strong ayurvedic concoction which is good for the stomach.
This cake calls for a liberal usage of cinnamon. Combined with sugar it gives a rich and nutty taste to the whole cake.

2 cups flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 cup milk

Sprinkle half the sugar-cinnamon mix. Now pour the rest of the batter on top. sprinkle remaining sugar-cinnamon mix.
