The cake is indeed slightly dense, but that is very much like a snickerdoodle! The cake has a lighter cinnamon flavor but when you add the buttercream, it really brings it front and center. EXELLENT cupcake recipe!

I will absolutely make these again, and would take them to people to enjoy. That’s saying something for me! The cake is more dense, but light, and tastes just like a snickerdoodle. The icing is very good! I made these for myself for my birthday. My husband, two year old and 4 year old all ate the entire cupcake they were given (again, saying something). My husband got another one after the kids had left the kitchen.

If I were basing my review on my opinion alone, I might have given this recipe only 2 “mitts”. The cake part is dense, like a muffin, and I was hoping for more of a cupcake consistancy. However, I took these to a party where they were quickly snatched up, and everyone LOVED them and was asking for the recipe. So if super cinnamony muffins sounds good to you, this is your recipe! The baking alone made my house smell amazing.

After my husband expressed a late night wish: “bake me something!”, I came across this recipe and tried it out. I was impressed that I had all these ingredients in the house already and didn’t have to worry about securing some obscure spice or special pan.

These cupcakes really do taste like a snickerdoodle cookie. The cake is a bit dense, but I really like them that way. The icing is amazingly good and I can imagine a bunch of different types of cake that it would taste delicious on.

The husband loves Fall and Fall recipes…and said these cupcakes reminded him of the spice heavy recipes popular during that time. So, these would be good for a Halloween type party, but really, I made them in the middle of summer and they were awesome now, too! I am a huge fan, thanks for posting this!

I made these along with the Chocolate mocoa cupcakes w chocolate buttercream frosting for my daughters 5th b-day. They were pretty good….a good reminder of the cookie.

these were great! I made them as a dessert along with a meal I made for one of our teachers who broke her leg on the last day of school!!!! Her husband teaches also and they have four young children. The meal, and especially the cupcakes, was a big hit! Then MY family gets the extras!

I did not make the cupcakes, but I made the icing and it was AMAZING. I put it on devil’s food chocolate ganached filled cupcakes, and this icing was the crowning jewel of the cupcakes. THANK YOU!!

I have made these 4 or 5 times now and everyone has LOVED them. I found the cake to be light and airy and not dense at all. I did use a little less cinnamon for the frosting but that’s the only change I made and I think they are wonderful. Thanks for posting the recipe.

The frosting on these was AMAZING! However, I might choose a different cake recipe. We found the cake to have more of a muffin consistency and we were looking for a less dense cake.

Pretty tasty! The cupcakes turned out moist and puffy and just the right balance of cinnamon and sweet.

My kids thought the cinnamon in the frosting was a little overwhelming–next time I will start with just one teaspoon of cinnamon in the frosting, then taste and adjust to my kids’ satisfaction.
