Time 34m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (165g)
1 cup sugar (200g)
1 1/2 tsp baking powder (6g)
2 tsp ground cinnamon (5g)
1/2 tsp fine salt (3g)
1/2 cup milk (120g)
1/2 cup water (120g)
1/4 cup vegetable oil (56g)
1 Tbsp vanilla extract (12g)
1 large egg, room temp (56g)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature (113g)
1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste (4g)
2 tsp ground cinnamon (5g)
1/4 tsp fine salt (1g)
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (185g)
1 Tbsp heavy cream or heavy whipping cream, room temperature (15g)

Steps:

  • Begin by preheating oven to 350°F / 175°C, and place cupcake liners in baking pans.
  • Add 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, 2 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp salt into a large bowl and gently combine with a large spoon or whisk.
  • Pour in 1/2 cup of milk and gently stir until just combined. The batter will be thick but that's how it should be!
  • Next add 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1 Tbsp vanilla extract, and 1 large egg. Whisk together just until the batter comes together.
  • Fill the cupcake liners about 2/3 way full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let the cupcakes cool for 10 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack to finish cooling. If you want to accelerate the cooling process, place the pan in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
  • Beat 1/2 cup of room-temperature butter on a medium speed for 30 seconds with a hand mixer until smooth.
  • Mix in 1 tsp vanilla extract, 2 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp salt on a low speed.
  • Slowly mix in 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar and 1 Tbsp of heavy cream on a low speed.
  • Mix on low for a couple minutes until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the desired consistency is reached.
  • If the frosting seems too thick, add in additional cream (1 Tablespoon at a time). If the frosting is too thin, add in more powdered sugar (1/4 cup at a time).
  • Place the buttercream in a piping bag fit with your favorite frosting tip and pipe large swirls onto the fully cooled cupcakes.
  • Garnish with a dusting of cinnamon and a little piece of cinnamon stick, then enjoy!
