Cinnamon Roll Cupcakes


So with a new semester of college, my awesome job and teaching 4 and 5 year-olds about Jesus I barely have time to make dinner, let alone bake cupcakes. So I think from now I'm just going to post whenever I get the chance to make some new flavors. =) My co-worker gave me the idea for these cupcakes and let me say, they are super tasty! 

Ingredients for the cake
1 box of yellow cake mix (don't follow instructions on cake mix)
3 eggs
1 cup water
1 stick butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar + 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, combined

Directions

  1. Mix cake mix, eggs, water, and butter together until thick and creamy.
  2. Fill tins 1/4 way full.
  3. Add about a teaspoon brown sugar/cinnamon to each.
  4. Fill the rest and sprinkle some more brown sugar/cinnamon mixture.
  5. Swirl mixture with a knife.
Cream Cheese Frosting
Ingredients
8oz block of cream cheese, softened
1 stick butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups powdered sugar

Directions
  1. Add all together, make sure the butter and cream cheese are soft, and mix.
  2. Yeah...that's it...if mixture is too thick add 2 teaspoons of milk.
Glaze

1 stick butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon.
