CINNAMON CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting image

Creamy, delicious cinnamon cream cheese frosting! This recipe isn't overly sweet and has just the right amount of cinnamon- yum!

Provided by Melissa Diamond

Categories     Frostings and Glazes

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 sticks (or 1 cup/226g) unsalted butter, slightly softened
2 (8oz) packages cream cheese (total weight 452g) I use full fat cream cheese. Using reduced fat or the spreadable cream cheese will cause the frosting to be too soft. Soften very slightly.
2 teaspoons (8 g) vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt (2g) optional - it will cut the sweetness, popcorn salt is best to use because it is fine and dissolves faster
6 to 6 1/2 cups (690g to 747g) powdered sugar
1 teaspoon (3g) cinnamon

Steps:

  • Cut the butter into slices and add to the bowl of your mixer. Beat on low to medium speed until the butter is softened and smooth.
  • Cut the cold cream cheese into pieces and add to the butter, beating at low to medium speed until incorporated. If you are using a hand mixer you may need to soften the cream cheese a bit more.
  • Add the vanilla. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cinnamon beating on low speed until blended. Cover the bowl with a towel to keep down the cloud of powdered sugar.
  • Increase mixing speed and beat until fluffy. Don't over beat or it will become too soft. If it becomes too soft, just refrigerate a short while to firm it up a bit.
  • **If you are making a dark brown swirl of frosting on top of the cake as we did, reserve 1/4 cup of frosting as set aside.
  • This frosting will pipe best if used while still chilled. You can make it in advance, refrigerate and when ready to use let it soften slightly (do not microwave) and remix.
  • Will frost a 3 layer 8 or 9 inch cake.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or cake flour)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup butter (, melted)

1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 cup powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons butter (, softened)
4 ounces cream cheese
1-2 Tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8x8'' baking dish.
  • In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, egg and vanilla. Stir in melted butter. Pour mixture into prepared pan and smooth into an even layer.
  • Make the cinnamon swirl topping by combing all ingredients together until smooth.

Provided by southerngrace

Number Of Ingredients 17

CAKE:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
4 large eggs
1 3/4 cups sugar
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
FROSTING:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
2 to 3 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour two 9-inch cake pans. Sift first 4 ingredients into small bowl. Stir milk and butter in small saucepan over low heat just until butter melts; set aside. Using electric mixer, beat eggs and sugar in large bowl until thick enough for batter to fall in heavy ribbon when beaters are lifted, about 5 minutes. Beat in orange peel and vanilla. Add flour mixture; beat just until blended. Add warm milk mixture; beat just until blended. Divide batter between prepared pans. Bake cakes until tester inserted into center comes out clean and cakes begin to pull away from sides of pans, about 24 minutes. Cool cakes in pans on racks 20 minutes. Cut around pan sides and turn cakes out onto racks. Turn cakes right side up. For frosting, mix the butter and cream cheese together with an electric mixer until very smooth. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure even mixing. Add the vanilla extract and cinnamon and mix. Slowly add the powdered sugar. Keep adding until you get to desired sweetness. Spread one cup of frosting onto first layer. Top with second layer. Smooth the rest of the frosting onto the top and sides using your preferred technique.

CINNAMON CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Cinnamon Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting image

This is a favorite "last minute" recipe, because most of these ingredients are usually in your pantry or refrigerator. It is very easily altered to meet individual tastes. Ideas: pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon, 2/3 cups chopped walnuts stirred into batter... It is a good recipe for cooking with a child.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Tips:

  • For a moist and flavorful cake, use buttermilk instead of milk. Buttermilk reacts with the baking soda to create a tender crumb.
  • Don't overbeat the batter. Overbeating can result in a tough cake.
  • For a smooth cream cheese frosting, make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before beating it.
  • To prevent the frosting from becoming too runny, chill it for at least 30 minutes before spreading it on the cake.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the frosting.
  • For a professional-looking cake, use a turntable to help you frost it evenly.
  • Decorate the cake with your favorite toppings, such as sprinkles, chopped nuts, or fresh fruit.

Conclusion:
