Ingredients
For the Cupcakes:

1 (16-ounce) tub of cream cheese frosting, room temperature

¼ cup cinnamon sugar
Caramel sauce, optional garnish
Chopped churro, optional garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two muffin tins with cupcake liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cake mix and cinnamon until they are well combined.
- Use a hand or stand mixer to beat in the eggs, oil, and heavy cream until you have a thick, smooth batter.
- Evenly scoop the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about ⅔ full.
- Bake for 19-24 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before decorating.
- While your cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting by beating together the cream cheese frosting, cream cheese, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of cinnamon in a medium mixing bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Use a piping bag fitted with a 1M Wilton or similarly sized piping tip to pipe the frosting onto each cooled cupcake.
- Once you’ve piped the frosting onto your cupcakes, sprinkle them with cinnamon sugar and repeat with all remaining cupcakes.
- To finish off your churro cupcakes, garnish them with chopped churros and drizzle with caramel sauce (optional). Serve and enjoy!
