Jelly-filled Cinnamon Cake/Muffin

This was actually a muffin recipe that I made into a cake for Husband's birthday surprise at midnight.
Simple to make with no flashy ingredients. You'll need:


1 3/4 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch of ground nutmeg and cinnamon
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup milk (room temperature)
Jam (any flavor)



Sieve the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix the wet ingredients (except the jam) separately in another bowl, then stir in the wet mixture into the dry one and mix properly.
Put half the batter in a tray (muffin or cake), add a layer of jam, then pour in the rest of the mixture on top.
Bake for about 25-30 minutes at 250 deg C.

For the Topping:

1/4 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Keep the melted butter in a small small, and on a plate mix the sugar and cinnamon. As soon as the cake is done, dip the top first in the butter then the sugar.
Additionally, you could top it with some chocolate sauce.
