Cinnamon Tea Bread Cake - Smell
the Aroma!!
Looking for a great tea bread recipe? Do you like cinnamon like I do? I especially love cinnamon toast.
Did you know that cinnamon originates back to Sri Lanka?
Through the years wars have been fought over it.
Doctors have used it to treat patients for various aliments such as coughs and sore throats.
It was even used to preserve meat and mask the smell of old meat. It sort of makes sense that the Egyptians used it in their mummies.
My realtor advised me to bake a cake with cinnamon to make the house smell warm and inviting.
Have you ever been to IKEA, the big shopping store? They make wonderful cinnamon rolls and buns. I associate that smell with IKEA, that and their Swedish meatballs.
How about this version of a tea bread with cinnamon.

- Thoroughly mix the ingredients in one at a time beginning with the sugar.
