Ingredients
Cupcakes
- 1 ½ cups flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup milk
Frosting:
- 4 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 4 tablespoons butter room temperature
- 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions
Cupcakes
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt and set aside.
- In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, mix the butter and sugar until they are light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, until just combined then mix in the vanilla and oil.
- Add ⅓ of the flour mixture to the butter mixture and gently stir in, using a spatula, until they are barely combined. Add half of the milk, stirring until it is just combined.
- Repeat these steps with the remaining flour mixture and milk, ending with the flour. Do not over mix.
- Fill each cupcake tin with 2 tablespoons of batter, or until the cupcake tin is filled halfway.
- Bake the cupcakes for 14 to 16 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with one or two crumbs clinging to it. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
Frosting
- using a hand mixer, mix the butter and cream cheese in a large bowl until they are smooth. Add the sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well between each addition.
- Stir in the cinnamon until thoroughly combined. Then stir in the vanilla.
- Beat the mixture well, until light and fluffy. Pipe onto the cupcakes and sprinkle with a little cinnamon sugar. Enjoy!
