Recipe Introduction


A great cake for those want a break from chocolate, but who consider vanilla too boring. This cinnamon-laced cake is a take-off on the classic cookie of the same name.



List of Ingredients




Solid vegetable shortening for the cake pans
Flour to dust the cake pans
1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix
1 cup whole milk
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, melted
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting (recipe follows

Recipe



Adjust oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease two 9-inch round cake pans with the vegetable shortening and coat with flour, shaking out any excess.
In a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed, combine the cake mix, milk, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract and cinnamon and mix for 1 minute. Stop the mixer and scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase the speed to medium and beat until well combined, 2 to 3 minutes. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans, smoothing the top with the rubber spatula. Bake the cakes in the preheated oven until they are golden brown and spring back when pressed lightly, 27 to 29 minutes. Transfer the pans to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of each pan. Invert the cakes onto a rack, then invert them again onto another rack so that the cakes are right-side up. Set aside to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
To frost, place one cake layer, right-side up on a serving platter. Spread the top with about 1/3 of the frosting and smooth top. Place the 2nd layer, right-side up on top of the frosted layer. Spread the sides and top of the cake with the remaining frosting with clean, smooth strokes. Place the cake, uncovered, in the refrigerator until the frosting is set, about 20 minutes.
Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting
8 tablespoons (I stick) butter at room temperature
3 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
3 to 4 tablespoons whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
In a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed, beat the butter until fluffy, about 30 seconds. Stop the mixer and add the sugar, 3 tablespoons milk, vanilla and cinnamon. Blend on low speed until the sugar is incorporated. Increase the speed to medium and beat until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. If the frosting seems too stiff, blend in up to 1 tablespoon additional milk.
JBic note: I got this from my mom, who had cut it from a newspaper (who knows which one or how long ago). My daughter made this for us (mom made us guess what it was –Snickerdoodles are my other daughter’s favorite cookie) and it is yummy!
