Step 1

Preheat oven to 350° F. Line standard cupcake/muffin pans with paper liners and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, sift together both flours, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium-high speed, cream the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until each is incorporated, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in three batches, alternating with two additions of milk, and beating until combined after each.

Step 4

Divide the batter evenly among lined cups, filling each three-quarters full. Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until a cake tester inserted in centers comes out just barely clean, about 20 minutes. Do not over bake. Transfer pans to wire racks to cool completely before removing cupcakes.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and cinnamon and beat just to combine. Slowly add sifted powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Add more powdered sugar if the frosting is too thin for piping.

Step 6

Using a pastry bag fitted with a large plain round tip (I use Ateco No. 808), pipe frosting onto each cupcake. Immediately finish by dusting the frosting with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. The frosting needs to be freshly piped in order for the cinnamon-sugar to stick to it.
