Difficutly: very easy
Time: 5 Min
Portion: 1 serving
Ingredients:
Makes ~20 cupcakes
INGREDIENTS
For cupcakes
1 package plain white cake mix (I used Betty Crocker white cake mix)
1 cup whole milk
1 stick of butter, melted
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting
INGREDIENTS
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
5 3/4-6 1/4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1/2 cup butter, softened, not margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
[NOTES: I used less than 4 cups of powdered sugar, taste-testing between each cup, b/c 5-6 cups seems like ALOT of powdered sugar to me! But maybe I don\’t have that strong of a sweet tooth? That might also be why the frosting wasn\’t as thick and harder to pipe though. *shrugs]
Directions:
To make cupcakes
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line your cupcake tin.
Place cake mix, milk, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Blend for three minutes (stop to scrape once).
Pour into pans and bake for 22-25 minutes. Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting.
To make frosting
Beat together cream cheese, butter, cinnamon and vanilla on medium speed until light and fluffy.
Add about half the powdered sugar and beat until mixed well. Then gradually add the remaining powdered sugar until you reach a spreading consistency. (I topped with either chocolate jimmies or dusted with cinnamon)
