Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 18 minutes
Total Time: 38 minutes
Kcal: 290 kcal
Servings: 12 cupcakes

Ingredients

• 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/4 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

For the Frosting

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2-3 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line muffin tin with cupcake liners.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk and buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
• Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with batter. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Brush the tops of the cooled cupcakes with melted butter, then dip each cupcake into the cinnamon-sugar mixture until coated.
• For the frosting: In a large bowl, beat softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon, beating until smooth. Add heavy cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
• Frost cooled cupcakes with cinnamon-sugar frosting. Serve and enjoy!
