<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nCinnamon buttercream frosting is super easy to make. It comes together in just a few minutes and is ready to use on all of your favorite cakes<\/a> and cupcakes<\/a>. Dust with extra cinnamon sugar – like I do on my churro cupcakes<\/a> – for something truly special!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n The recipe doesn’t call for any fancy ingredients. Here are just a couple things to consider as you ingredient shop:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first step is to beat the butter for three minutes at high speed in a stand mixer or using a handheld electric mixer. Mixing for the full amount of time is very important as you\u2019re aerating the butter. If you don\u2019t mix long enough, the frosting will be very dense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tip:<\/mark><\/strong> You will need to stop and scrape down the side of the bowl every minute or so while you are mixing as butter will stick to the edges of the bowl. While easiest way to do this is with a silicone spatula, you can avoid the scraping entirely by using a scraping paddle. Many mixers now come with scraping paddles, but you may be able to purchase one if yours doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mix in the powdered sugar. Add the powdered sugar a little bit at a time and always start the mixer on low speed. If you start on high speed, the sugar will end up flying all over your kitchen!<\/p>\n\n\n Next, mix in the cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt.<\/p>\n\n\n Spread or pipe onto your desserts!<\/p>\n\n\n I love this frosting on so many different flavors of cupcakes – pumpkin cupcakes<\/a>, sweet potato cupcakes<\/a>, banana cupcakes<\/a>, and apple cupcakes<\/a>.<\/p>
<\/div>
It lasts for up to a week at room temperature or months in the freezer. If you freeze it, you will need to bring it to room temperature and mix it again for a minute or two before you start piping.<\/p>

I recommend a Wilton 1M [paid link]<\/a> for that perfect cupcake swirl!<\/p>
