Ladies and Gents (most likely ladies, but if there are gents... WELCOME!) I just got back from the movie theater. We watched Chronicle and it was really good.
I made my cinnamon toast crunch cupcakes today and OH-MY-GOODNESS-GRACIOUS!!! They are AMAZING. I definately suggest that you try them.The cake is melt-in-your-mouth good, and the icing is indescribable. To best sum up the delicousness I would tell you that I would lick this icing off of an old boot. Its sweet, creamy, and I "snuck" way too much of it out of the mixing bowl. Here is the recipe:


Cinnamon Cake


3 eggs
1/3 cup oil
¾ cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup sour cream
Vanilla Cake Mix (not white cake mix)
1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon 
 
Cinnamom Toast Crunch Buttercream
 
8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups powdered sugar
2/3 cup Cinnamon Toast Crunch powder
(Crush the cereal in a bag and then sift out 2/3 cup)
 
Directions:
 
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line pan with cupcake liners.
2. In a large bowl, combine eggs, oil, buttermilk and vanilla.
3. Mix in sour cream.
4. Add cake mix and cinnamon and mix until smooth.
5. Fill cupcake liners ¾ full and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until an inserted knife comes out clean.
6. Buttercream: Beat cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Add Cinnamon Toast Crunch powder. Add vanilla and powdered sugar. Adjust the consistency using milk if it is too thick.
7. Pipe onto cooled cupcakes and top with cinnamon sugar and a Cinnamon Toast Crunch square. (optional)
 
 Enjoy, and thanks for reading!
