Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting

This goes on top of the Snickerdoodle Cake.

Makes 3 1/2 cups, enough to frost a 2 or 3 layer cake.
Preparation time: 5 minutes

8 T (1 stick) butter, at room temperature
3 3/4 C confectioners' sugar, sifted
3-4 T milk
1 t pure vanilla extract
1 t ground cinnamon (after you add the vanilla)

1. Place the butter in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed until fluffy, 30 seconds. Stop the machine and add the confectioners' sugar, 3 T milk, and vanilla. Then add the cinnamon. Blend with the mixer on low speed until the sugar is incorporated, 1 minutes. Increase the speed to medium and beat until light and fluffy, 1 minute more. Blend in up to 1 T milk if the frosting seems too stiff.

2. Use to frost the top and sides of the cake of your choice.

THIS RECIPE IS FROM THE CAKE MIX DOCTOR'S BOOK. PLEASE BUY THE BOOK IF YOU LIKE THE CAKE. YOU WON'T REGRET IT.
