Directions:Preheat oven to 350º. Add paper liners to a cupcake pan. Set aside
In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt (first 5 ingredients listed). Mix and set aside
In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Divide batter evenly into liners, 3/4 full, then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
Bake until toothpick comes out clean, from the center of a cupcake, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely.
Meanwhile make frosting. In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and cinnamon and beat until no lumps remain. Add heavy cream, vanilla and a pinch of salt and beat until combined. If frosting is too thick, add more heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time.
Transfer frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large open star tip. Pipe frosting onto cooled cupcakes. Then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. And top with mini churros. (Optional) |
