Serves:
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- For the cream cheese frosting:
- 4 oz (1/2 cup) cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour into dry ingredients and mix until smooth.

In another small bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon together. Spoon half of the batter into the liners, then sprinkle with half of the cinnamon mixture. Fill each liner with remaining batter and sprinkle the top with the rest of the cinnamon mixture.

Bake cupcakes for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before frosting.

Transfer frosting to a piping bag and pipe onto cooled cupcakes. Serve and enjoy!
