Directions

Step1

Preheat oven to 180°C.

Step2

Put the tea, honey, sugar and eggs into a bowl, and mix well.

Step3

Add the soda-vinegar mixture and then the flours, and stir to combine (the mixture should have the consistency of thick cream).

Step4

Grease a casserole dish or 25-cm cake tin.

Step5

Pour in the cake mixture and bake for 1 hour (to test if the cake is cooked, insert a wooden skewer: if it comes out clean, the cake is ready).

Step6

Turn out the cake onto a wire rack, and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon while still warm.
