Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Beat the sugar, oil, & vanilla together in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a
paddle attachment. Add the eggs, 1 at a time. In another bowl, sift together the
flour, cinnamon, baking soda, & salt. With the mixer on low speed, add 1/2 of the

350 degrees F & cook for a further 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool on a rack.
For the frosting, cream the cream cheese, butter, & vanilla in the bowl of an
electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add the sugar & beat until smooth.
When the cupcakes are cool, frost them generously & serve.
