Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

• 60 g room temperature butter
• 125 g plain cream cheese
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 160 g powdered sugar
  Mix together until thick and creamy.

1. Beat together the room temperature butter and sugar.
2. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
3. Alternately stir in the milk and the dry ingredients.
4. Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined springform pan (20-22 cm).
5. Bake the cake in the middle of the oven at 175°C for 35-40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
