How to Make Teisen Sinamon Welsh Cinnamon Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. In a large bowl, sift together 200g self-raising flour and 2 tsp baking powder.
  3. Cut in 100g cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  4. Add 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (or to taste) and 150g caster sugar.
  5. Beat in 2 large egg yolks and 2-3 tbsp milk until a stiff batter forms.
  6. Pour batter into a shallow, well-greased 20cm (8-inch) baking tin or oven-safe serving dish.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool completely.
  9. Spread generously with 100g of your favourite jam (apricot or raspberry recommended).
  10. For the meringue: In a clean, dry bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  11. Gradually add 1 tbsp caster sugar per egg white, beating until glossy and stiff.
  12. Carefully spoon or pipe the meringue onto the jam-topped cake.
  13. Return to a slightly cooler oven (180°C/350°F) for 10-15 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly golden and set.
