Cinnamon and Sugar Cake

I love to share recipes that I have successfully made.

This Cinnamon and Sugar Cake Recipe is very tasty and was hit with family and friends.



CINNAMON & SUGAR CAKE

Ingredients For the Cake

  1 Pkg. of white cake mix
  1 cup of milk
  1/2 cup of sour cream
  6 Tbl. butter, melted
  3 eggs
  2 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Ingredients for the Frosting

  1/2 cup butter, softened
  2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  2 Tbl. milk
  1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  1 tsp. vanilla extract
  1 Tbl. cinnamon-sugar mixture

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease and flour a bundt pan and set aside.

For the cake---

In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients; beat on low speed for 30 seconds and then beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.

Transfer cake batter into greased and floured pan.

Bake for 35 minutes or until a knife comes out clean.

Note-  I used a Pampered Chef Stoneware Bundt Pan and had to bake it for 35 minutes.  If you use a metal pan, you will have to adjust the time.

Cool for 10 minutes in the pan and then remove to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.


For the frosting---

In a large bowl, beat the butter until fluffy.  Add the powdered sugar, milk, cinnamon and vanilla.  Whip until smooth.

After your cake has cooled, spread the frosting on it and then sprinkle it with the cinnamon and sugar mixture.

Note- I had to add a little extra milk to get my frosting to the consistency I liked.  Play around with it!
