Sponge Cake Squares

Delicious served warm for brunch or a coffee break. No butter inside the cake, but after the cake is baked, butter is poured on top and then icing sugar is sprinkled on top of cake with cinnamon. It took me only 30 minutes for this cake to bake so make sure you check after 30 minutes with toothpick.
