Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting

This is from The Cake Mix Doctor. Posted to go with Tomato Soup Spice Cake, but I think it'd be good with any spice cake recipe. Very simple to make. If you want plain buttercream frosting, omit cinnamon and replace it with another teaspoon of vanilla.

We put this delicious frosting on a French vanilla cake, and used a tbsp of cinnamon instead of a tsp. We wanted to be clearly cinnamon, not just 'a hint of' cinnamon. I did not sift, but did beat the icing after each 3/4 cup sugar added, and a solid minute on high at the end. Light, fluffy, cinnamony, and delicious!Reply

I made this recipe for one cup. After reading the reviews about it being too sweet, instead of sifting a cup of sugar, I sifted a 1/2 cup of sugar at a time. I tasted it after the first 1/2 cup and it was PERFECT!! Ate it on my pumpkin bread and it was good! Definitly going to make it with the pumpkin bread for Thanksgiving! Thanks! :)Reply
