Cinnamon Roll Cupcakes

These cupcakes taste just like a cinnamon roll, and disappear just as fast!

Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees and lining your cupcake pan with liners. This recipe makes about 20-22 regular sized cupcakes.






Cake:
2/3 cup butter at room temperature
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup packed brown sugar (put aside in a dish)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/4 cups milk

Frosting:
3/4 cup butter (room temp)
6 cups powdered sugar
Up to 1/3 cup milk (add slowly teaspoon by teaspoon until you get the consistency you like)
2 teaspoons vanilla


Start by mixing butter until light and fluffy, then slowly mix in the sugar and other ingredients one at a time. Fill the cupcake holders 1/2-3/4 full and sprinkle the reserved brown sugar over the mixture. Bake at 350 for 15-16 minutes - cool completely, top with frosting and a dash of cinnamon - enjoy!
