VERSION #1 CAKE (with cake mix):
1 pkg yellow cake mix
1 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup applesauce
3 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
VERSION #2 CAKE (from scratch):
2-1/3 cups flour
1-1/3 cups sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
1-1/3 cups milk
1/2 cup melted butter
3 eggs
3 tsp. vanilla
1 Tbs. cinnamon
CINNAMON BUTTERCREAM FROSTING:
1/2 cup butter
4 ounces cream cheese
3-1/4 cup powdered sugar
3 Tbs. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. butter extract (in the cake supply section of the craft store)
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
DIRECTIONS: For both cake mix and scratch versions of the cake: Mix all the cake ingredients in a large bowl in order listed and beat on high for about three minutes.
Divide batter between three greased and floured 8-inch round cake pans (or one large 9X13 pan) and bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Meanwhile, for frosting, beat the butter and creamed cheese together until creamy. Add the vanilla and butter extract and combine then add the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition and adding the milk as you go to keep it from getting too hard. Once it's to spreading consistency add the cinnamon.
When the cake is cool frost and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar on top. Enjoy!
