- ½ teaspoon table salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup canola oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- ½ cup warm water 90-100F
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons honey or sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups all-purpose flour for rolls
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ cup granulated sugar for filling
- ½ cup brown sugar for filling
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon for filling
- ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar for glaze
- 2-4 tablespoons milk for glaze
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Line a cupcake tray with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, sift the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy, then add canola oil, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend well, then mix in sour cream.
- Gently combine the wet and dry ingredients until just incorporated.
- Prepare the cinnamon swirl by mixing brown sugar, white sugar, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Spoon about two-thirds of the batter into each paper liner, add cinnamon swirl mixture, and top with remaining batter. Swirl gently with a toothpick.
- Bake for about 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tray for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack.
- Whisk powdered sugar and milk together for the glaze until you achieve desired consistency.
- Frost cupcakes with cinnamon cream cheese frosting, topping with a mini cinnamon roll and drizzling with glaze.
Notes
- Avoid Overmixing: gently fold the ingredients until just combined.
- Check Oven Temperature: use an oven thermometer for even baking.
- Cool Completely: allow cupcakes to cool before frosting.
- Make Swirl Precise: use a toothpick for swirling without overmixing.
- Customize Toppings: adjust frosting or toppings to your preference.
