Snickle Doodle Cake

I tried this recipe of my own when I was at my friend's place the other day. It was a spontaneous bake, thinking of simple and easy cake dessert for a friendly dinner. I searched thru the fridge and cupboard for ingredients. There I found all-purpose flour, unsalted butter, half & half, ground cinnamon, baking powder, hazel nuts, eggs and granulated sugar. My mind was thinking of Snickle Doodle cookies I used to have when I was in Arkansas working at the bakery. Well, I love the cinnamon, sugar and butter taste. Now, the steps of making it: Beat 2 large eggs and 3/4 cup sugar until slightly melted and creamy. Stir in 1/2 cup half and half and 3/4 stick melted butter, then add in 1 cup of flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, pinch of salt, ground cinnamon and chopped hazel nuts. Pour into 6" round pan (buttered and floured) and then sprinkle some granulated sugar on top of the batter. Bake in the oven at 315 F for about 30-40 min until puffy crack look on the surface and brown at the edge. Serve with ice-cream.
