Cinnamon Swirl Frosting

To pair with the last blog post of Snickerdoodle Cupcakes I will be making a cinnamon swirl frosting. I can already hear the cavities a calling.

Here are the ingredients needed for this recipe:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 3-4 cups confectioners’ sugar
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1/8 tsp. salt
• 1 Tbsp. ground cinnamon

Step 1: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth and creamy.

Step 2: While mixing add in the sugar, heavy cream, salt, and vanilla extract.

Step 3: Increase speed to high and mix for 3 minutes.

Step 4: (Optional: Add more sugar if frosting is too thing or heavy cream if the frosting is too thick)

Step 5: Transfer 1/2 of the frosting to a small bowl; set aside.

Step 6: Add the ground cinnamon to the large bowl mixture and beat to combine for 30 seconds.

Step 7: Spoon the cinnamon frosting into one side of a piping bag and fill the other half with the vanilla frosting.

Step 8: Pipe on to cupcakes as desired.

Step 9: Garnish with a mini snickerdoodle cookie.
