Cinnamon Swirl Cake with cream cheese frosting

Keaton's birthday cake - I made this for the seminary kids this morning - it was a hit!

Looks like an average cake to me in the picture, but it is yummier than it looks - so moist and cinnamony ;)

I altered the ingredients from this cake recipe

1 cup+2 tbsp butter

2 cups sugar

1 cup brown sugar

Cream butter with sugar until fluffy and combined. Add eggs 2 at a time.

6 eggs

2 tsp butter vanilla emulsion (can substitute vanilla extract)

1 cup sour cream

In a separate bowl, sift together:

2 cups flour

1 cup cake flour

1/3 cup corn starch

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp kosher salt

1 small pkg dry cheesecake jello pudding mix

Add to batter just until mixed.

Combine:

1 1/2 cups brown sugar

1 tbsp cinnamon

1/2 tbsp ground cloves

1/2 tbsp nutmeg

1/2 tbsp ground ginger

**(had some left over, I just saved it for snickerdoodles)

Sprinkle 1/4 mixture on bottom of parchment lined cookie/1/2 sheet pan. Spread batter out over top and then remaining topping - swirl into cake batter with a knife. sprinkle a few handfuls of turbinado sugar for a crunch on top if desired.

Bake 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

After cooled, frost.

Cream cheese frosting

1/2 cup butter

8 oz cream cheese

3 cups powdered sugar (or less - just taste it so it doesn't get too sweet)

1 vanilla bean or 2 tsp vanilla extract

1-2 tbsp milk

Half this recipe for this cake because you don't need it all either - just drizzle it over the cake.
