Cinnamon Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting
Yield | 12 cupcakes
Cupcake recipe adapted from Love & Olive Oil

For the Cupcake:

• 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• ¾ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 cup (I used skim) milk
• 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup oil 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Frosting:

• 1 stick unsalted butter
• 1 8oz package cream cheese
• 2 ½ cups confectioners sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• A generous sprinkling of cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 deg F
2. Sift together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, salt + cinnamon in a large bowl. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients (to pour the wet into later)
3. Combine milk + vinegar, then add vanilla, sugar and oil. Pour into dry ingredients and mix until combined.
4. Fill cupcake cups 2/3 of the way full and bake for 20-22 minutes (20 was perfecto for me)
5. Let the cupcakes cool, then take out the cream cheese/butter to soften. Use a mixer to combine fully, and then add the vanilla/powdered sugar. When all combined, sprinkle the cinnamon on top of the frosting and mix one last time.

These are a great any-time-of-day cupcake, and go perfectly with some tea. (:
Awesome! Happy Autumn Everyone!
