Author: Brenna Bowers
Serving: 24 cupcakes
Ingredients:
Cinnamon Vanilla Churro Cake:
1 box white cake mix (Duncan Hines)
1 package (4 servings) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 cup water
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
¼ teaspoon almond extract
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 egg whites
1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 can (13.4 oz) Dulce de leche
2 large churros (Costco), cut into 24 bite size pieces
Vanilla Cinnamon
Cream Cheese Frosting:
1 stick butter (1/2 cup), room temperature
8 oz. (1 block) cream cheese, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2-3 cups powdered sugar
Directions:
Cinnamon Vanilla Churro Cake:
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line 2 cupcake tins with cupcake
liners (24).
In a mixing bowl combine the cake mix, pudding mix, water,
oil, almond extract, vanilla extract and egg whites. Mix for 2 minutes or until
well incorporated. Remove ½ cup of the batter and stir in 1 Tablespoons of
ground cinnamon. Divide the vanilla cake
batter evenly amongst the 24 cupcake holders. Spoon a dollop of the cinnamon
batter into the center of each cupcake. Using a toothpick, swirl the batter to
give a marbled effect.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes
out clean.
Let cool completely.
With a paring knife, make a small hole in the center of each
cupcake to be filled. Spoon and fill each hole with a dollop of dulce de leche.
Vanilla Cinnamon
Cream Cheese Frosting:
In another mixing bowl beat the butter and cream cheese
until whipped (2 minutes). Stir in the vanilla and cinnamon. Mix in powdered
sugar and whip for 1 minute until fluffy.
Pipe frosting onto each cooled and filled cupcake. Top each
cupcake with a piece of churro.
Eat and repeat!
